Answer:

The character in question is Jem, who was injured in the elbow. But this injury did not stop him from enjoying sports. Rather, he was happy as long as he can "pass and punt".

Explanation:

Harper Lee's <em>To Kill A Mockingbird</em> tells the story of how race and discrimination persist in the Southern American state of Alabama. The story, though narrated by the youngest character among the others, tells the events that surround the Tom Robinson trial and how the people of the fictional town based their opinions.

The given lines are from the very first paragraph of the first chapter of the book. The lines are about the narrator's brother Jem and how he became disabled. Our narrator Scout states that her brother <em>"got his arm badly broken at the elbow [. . . .] But he couldn't care less so long as he could pass and punt".</em> Scout meant to say that even though Jem may have hurt his hand, that did not stop him from playing sports. Rather, he was satisfied as long as he can pass the ball and punt.

After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body?
Alexxx [7]
Hey there,
So since Frida was just exercising her body was pumping blood to supply oxygen faster at a higher rate, therefore, now that she's stopped her body has to once again get used to the rapid change in oxygen reliance and is slowing itself down meaning that she needs to breathe more and longer<span />

Which is a verbal strategy you can use to emphasize key points when presenting a speech?
andrezito [222]
From the first sight I thought that all of the options are suitable, but then I realized that the most powerful tool that makes audience to listen (not just hearing) to pay attention to the most important part of speech is to slow down or pause. It is called situational semantic pause which is used during a speech, usually after the words on which people should be focused, so that the quiet will make audience comprehend its importance.
