While Roberto Clemente amassed a mountain of impressive statistics during his baseball career, he was often mocked by the print

media in the United States for his heavy Spanish accent. Clemente was also subjected to the double discrimination of being a foreigner and being black in a racially segregated society. Although the media tried to call him "Bob" or "Bobby" and many of his baseball cards use "Bob," Clemente explicitly rejected those nicknames, stating in no uncertain terms that his name was Roberto. There was also confusion over the correct form of his surname. For 27 years the plaque at the National Baseball Hall of Fame read "Roberto Walker Clemente," mistakenly placing his mother's maiden name before his father's surname. Only in 2000 was it changed to its proper Latin American form, Roberto Clemente Walker.
This excerpt would most likely inspire a story about

A. the campaign to correct Roberto Clemente's name in the Hall of Fame
B. the impressive baseball career of Roberto Clemente
C. the marriage of Roberto Clemente's parents
D. the nicknames earned by Roberto Clemente during his career

How do personality influence areas like extracurricular activities
myrzilka [38]
The more outgoing a person is, the more they’d be willing to be apart of something where there is consistent interaction. If one is more likely to take the lead, they might want to be apart of student government or a sports team. If one is more in touch with their artistic abilities, they may lean towards art, fashion, or music clubs. Hope this helps!

The flair toothpaste uses the images of a neat dentist that recommends the toothpaste, and also uses the images of nice white people with incredible white teeth. That is the way they use to persuade readers and to create meaning. Other adds as the car ones present a clean and fast road with a family inside the car, enjoying a very nice holidays. So the way to persuade are kind of the same: show happy people with the product that they want to sell
