Answer:
A. Athletes who overcame incredible obstacles to excel in sports.
Explanation:
As seen in the given passages, both passages talk about the way both Jackie Robinson and Wilma Rudolph came to be sports greats. The passages contain details about how both of them overcame the many and hard obstacles to get to where they are now.
Passage 1 provides details of the great baseball legend Jackie Robinson and his way to becoming one of the greats in the game and also the very first black man to play in the Major Leagues in the 20th century. His journey was filled with <em>"malicious catcalls and racial slurs shouted from the stands and even anonymous death threats"</em>, even at times enduring <em>"rival players [who] threw pitches at Robinson’s head, spat on him when he slid into a base and attempted to injure him with the spikes on their shoes"</em>.
Passage 2 reveals the journey of Wilma Rudolph who had to overcome <em>"pneumonia, polio, and scarlet fever"</em> that left her unable to walk properly. But despite all odds, she came to be<em> "one of America’s first great track and field athletes"</em>.
Thus, <u>both passages provide information about these two athletes who overcame incredible obstacles to be what they are now, excelling in their own fields.</u>

<u>Answer:</u>
C) He brought its collar demonstrates nonstandard English.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Every single person, be it a grammar nazi or not, will slip out and step their feet on non- standard english once in a lifetime. Some people engage themselves in nonstandard english more frequently than others.
Non standard english may be defined an an english sentence which is grammarly nor correct and requires some alterations. Also, slangs can be considered a part of non standard english. Other types of non standard english can be jargons and unrecognised words. Here "he brought its collar" is a non standard english and it is lacking a determiner before the word collar. There should be an article present in place of "its".
Loren, the new manager, is the <u><em>antithesis </em></u>of compassion; just yesterday, she fired two people because they were late to work once this week. Corporate headquarters, upset with declining sales, appointed Loren to replace a[n] <u><em>impotent </em></u>manager who had been spotted on the golf course during work hours one-too-many times. Loren's many changes and <u><em>emendation</em></u>(s) to company guidelines caused a[n] <u><em>maelstrom </em></u>in both the warehouse and the salesroom. Employees faced evaluations and new instructions that drove many to resign; however, it was part of Loren's plan. The people who quit, she reasoned, were just <u><em>impediment </em></u>to meeting the expected monthly profit margin. Loren spent the first two weeks familiarizing herself with the <u><em>labyrinth </em></u>of shelves and palettes in the warehouse. Shreds of textiles littered parts of the packaging area; some were hefty snippets of wool, and others were <u><em>diaphanous </em></u>scraps of silk that hovered in the gust created by passing forklifts. She occasionally stopped to introduce herself to the workers, but she ceased her introductions after noticing the regular look of <u><em>chagrin </em></u>on workers' faces as they scrambled to look busy or stumbled over the proper responses to her questions. After the first round of resignations-and, firings, most of the workers were intimidated by Loren's <u><em>bestial </em></u>management techniques.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!
Stay Brainy!

The logical fallacy that Jane makes in her response to Fran is red herring. This is because her response is deliberately diverting the conversation away from what Fran is saying.
