Khalil’s shooting and the ongoing investigation of Officer Cruise put the theme of injustice at the forefront of the novel. The fact that Khalil was unarmed and did not threaten the officer makes his murder unjust. The police are unjust at other points, too, such as when they force Maverick to the ground and pat him down. Race is tied into this theme of injustice as well, since pervasive racism prevents African-Americans from obtaining justice. Starr and Maverick in particular are focused on bringing justice not only for Khalil but also for African-Americans and other oppressed groups, such as the poor. The activist group that Starr joins is called Just Us for Justice because it fights against police maltreatment on the basis of race. At the end of the novel, Starr accepts that injustice might continue but reinforces her determination to fight against it.

We live.—Knowing that today’s sun may give way to tomorrow’s rain.
The passage talks about how things are always changing. The only thing that is the same is the fact that things change. We see this in the last line of the passage when it says "Nought may endure but Mutability." Mutability is the tendency to change. It's saying that nothing endures (or lasts) like the tendency to change. The correct answer should continue this idea. Option B talks about how we know things will change from one day to the next with one day being sunny and the next rainy.
