Answer:

because the jury was racist

Explanation:

The jury’s decision to convict Tom Robinson for a crime he clearly did not commit plagues Jem as an intolerable miscarriage of justice. The most obvious reason justice isn’t served is because the jury’s overwhelming racism prevents Tom from getting a fair trial. Another reason the jury finds Tom guilty is that Mayella Ewell and her father Bob, both perjured themselves on the stand. In addition to the presumption of an impartial jury, the justice system operates on the assumption that witnesses will tell after being sworn to testify. But both Mayella and Bob lied rather than admit that Mayella tried to kiss Tom. Tom’s race, combined with the Ewells’ lies, proved enough for the racist jury to find Tom guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence of Tom’s innocence.

Which statement best summarizes "Save the Coral Reefs”?
vazorg [7]
I think the correct answer would be C. The best summary of the text "Save the Coral Reefs" would be

Construction along the coasts, overfishing, and bleaching have seriously damaged the world’s coral reefs. Since reefs are a very important part of the ocean’s ecosystem, their destruction has a devastating environmental impact, and we must work to protect them. 
Coral reefs are known to be very fragile which are made of limestone. People who would build coastal regions and those who overfish should be stopped as these activities ruin and damage the corals which would ruin the habitat of the fishes and other aquatic organisms.
