This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences, 1815-1897.

“My father,” I replied, “prefers boys; he wishes I was one, and I intend to be as near like one as possible. I am going to ride on horseback and study Greek. Will you give me a Greek lesson now, doctor? I want to begin at once.”

“Yes, child,” said he, throwing down his h.o.e, “come into my library and we will begin without delay.”

Which best retells the central idea in this excerpt?

A. Stanton is determined to get the pastor to help her with her study of Greek.

B. Stanton is determined to make her father accept her just the way she is.

C. Stanton is determined to rebel against her father and prove him wrong.

D. Stanton is determined to learn the things boys do to gain her father’s acceptance.

Answer:

The sentence that best retells the central idea in this excerpt is:

D. Stanton is determined to learn the things boys do to gain her father’s acceptance.

Explanation:

Stanton clearly wants gain her father's approval and acceptance. Since she is a girl and her father would much rather have had a son, she is determined to learn what boys learn and be as much of a son as she can be. That's why she is asking if the pastor will teach her Greek. She is not rebelling or trying to prove she is worthy of appreciation just the way she is. Quite the contrary, she really desires her father's affection.

Why did the police and the housing authority forbid integrated activities and the city's recreation centers?
Dovator [93]

This prohibition was due to racism and a strong policy of racial segregation.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The police and housing authority have established racist and prejudiced policies to ban integrated activities and recreation centers in the city.
  • This happened because the integrated activities allowed the participation of white and black people in the same activity.
  • The recreation centers also allowed the participation of black and white people at any time.
  • However, the population, mainly white, decided that this was incorrect and asked for measures to be taken so that they could carry out their activities without the presence of black people.
  • For this reason, as a way of establishing racial segregation, integrated activities and recreation centers were banned or limited through a strong segregation policy.

This question is about "The Color of Law" which shows how the racial segregation policy has taken over the country.

Furkat [3]

Irony is Saying the opposite of what you mean and sometimes is funny.

For example- say there is a sign on a window that says no putting signs or pictures on windows.

Its ironic because there is a sign on the window telling you not to put them there.
