Answer:
wanna help each other?
Explanation:
Alexis and Kym arrange to meet at the running track to train for an athletics carnival. They cycle to the track, leaving their homes at the same time. It takes Alexis 8 minutes to travel 2800 m from her home to the track. Kym takes 18 minutes,
after travelling a distance of 6.12 km.
Alexis thought she was faster, but Kym was not convinced. Who do you think was faster? Give reasons for your answer.
Assuming the text is "Learning How to Code-Switch: Humbling, but Necessary" (2013) and you had to choose between the following claims:
<em>A. Code-switching keeps people from expressing themselves by promoting one correct style of communication.</em>
<em>B. It is important to recognize that code-switching can help a person succeed and celebrate all aspects of their identity.</em>
<em>C. The United States consists of great cultural variety and no one should be discriminated against for speaking a certain way.</em>
<em>D. Many successful people have used code-switching, but it is unfair to expect minorities to have multiple communication styles.</em>

<u>Code-switching</u> means alternating between languages or communication styles according to the context (cultural, professional, casual, etc.).

This answer is supported by such such quotes as:
- "expertly navigating another culture wasn’t a rejection of where I’d come from or a signal that I was any less authentically black;"
- "it’s a reminder to be fully who you are at all times, while making sure you’re understood well enough to be valued, respected and considered."
The second thing you should do when writing a summary is read, think about, and understand the text. Review the material to make sure you know it well.
He uses personification to present freedom as a powerful force that will bring hope and prosperity to America in saying "Queen of empires and the nurse of arms."
