In the following passage from A Level Playing Field: African American Athletes and the Republic of Sports, Gerald L. Early discu
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Credibility and an American approach to sports analysis.

Explanation:

The biggest difference in sports analysis between Europe and America is, in many's view, the Americans' obsession with statistics. One cannot watch a sports game without the commentators using at least a dozen statistics to prove the greatness/importance of a team, player or game.

Gerald Early is no different. The task of writing about Jackie Robinson is not easy for anyone, with Robinson being such an important figure in American sports. Early was probably not the first and surely will not be the last to do that.

In order to add credibility to his writing, distinguish his work from those of other people and last, but not least, to appeal to the American reader, Early tries to use as many sources as possible to support his arguments. He does that masterfully because, instead of the sources diminishing Early's voice in the writing, they do the opposite. Gerald Early uses the sources to enhance his own voice by always making the sources' relevance dependent on his own claims.

Which of the following phrases from Mandela’s speech is an example of a metaphor?
Alla [95]
I believe that the phrase from Mandela's speech that is an example of a metaphor is the first one - 'the children, [...] the greatest of our treasures."
A metaphor is a type of comparison, where two or more things are compared without using words such as <em>like </em>or <em>as. </em>Here, the children are the greatest of our treasures - they are compared to a treasure, something which is the most important thing of all.

Which statement about essay format is true? A.An essay always has four paragraphs or more.
3241004551 [841]
<span>The correct answer is B. The intro includes the thesis. The thesis is your claim; it's essentially the argument you're trying to make. It must come in the intro in order to give your readers a sense of what you're going to be talking about in the paper. Option A is incorrect because the number of paragraphs in an essay will depend on the essay itself. Option C is incorrect because the conclusion is necessary. It not only wraps up your paper, but also leaves the readers with something to think about. Option D is incorrect because the very purpose of each body paragraph is to support your thesis.</span>
