Answer:

D. Jesse Owens didn’t allow the racial discrimination he faced at home or abroad to keep him from doing what he loved and succeeding at it.

Explanation:

In the informational essay <em>Jesse Owens </em>by Shelby Ostergaard, the whole essay details how persistent James Cleveland Owens was in his desire to achieve his dream. He did not let the racial discrimination and prejudice deter him from doing what he loves, despite what others may say or treat him.

The main idea of the whole essay seems to be that he did not allow the racial discrimination he faced at home and even at the college or even the treatment he met after winning the Olympics deter his aim. Hitler refused to shake his hand after his win, the racial discrimination back at home did not change even after winning a medal for his country, the country that seems to love him yet not care about him at all. But despite all these, he did not stop doing what he loved, running towards his goals, and which, in his own words, is one thing <em>"you could do by yourself and under your own power"</em>.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Snezhnost [94]

I took the liberty to correct your typing. The original question does not have the verb "is" after the word "brother". The way you typed it, none of the options would be correct. The proper question is this one:

<em>Which sentence is punctuated correctly? </em>

<em>A) My brother a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>B) My brother, a truck driver spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>D) My brother, a truck, driver spends a great deal of time on the road.</em>

<em />

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is option C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road. The structure "a truck driver" is an appositive. That means its function in this sentence is to give further information or an explanation about something that was just mentioned - in this case, the word brother. The speaker is explaining that his/her brother spends a lot of time on the road because he is a truck driver. Appositives should come between commas. That's why option C is the right one.

Answer: The book Hiroshima by John Hersey had expressed the violation of the human rights of many people because of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Many had died due to nuclear radiation caused by the attack. Many innocent lives were taken because of what the US had done in the pas

Explanation:

Considering Hiroshima is based on the real-world event through World War 2, the human rights issue that is investigated in the novel is investing the casualties brought on by atomic bombing.

OTOH, it was during a time of war, a war began by the other side, and a war that side had irrevocably lost years before, and yet they refused to yield and thus, end the war. So, Japan carries the full accountability for their willful and deranged stubbornness, and their willful refusal to save their own people from a war that they had no hope to evade suffering.

Hope this helps
