Answer:

Rosa Parks (1913—2005) helped initiate the civil rights movement in the United States when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. Her actions inspired the leaders of the local Black community to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Led by a young Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the boycott lasted more than a year—during which Parks not coincidentally lost her job—and ended only when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional. Over the next half-century, Parks became a nationally recognized symbol of dignity and strength in the struggle to end entrenched racial segregation.

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read “Battle of the Bionics” by Steve Murray

Which quotation states where the central idea of the text emerges?

a“On your mark, get set…go! The starter flag drops and the race is on. While their teams shout encouragement, the competitors reach their first challenge—a line of sofas.” (paragraph 1)

b“This unique event is testing the latest assistive technologies for people with disabilities. While certain technology isn’t allowed in the Olympic or Paralympic games, it’s at the heart of the Cybathlon.” (paragraph 2)

c“The World Health Organization reports that about 1 billion people—15 percent of the world’s population—have physical disabilities of some kind.” (paragraph 4)

d“Some pilots race bikes around the track by controlling their leg muscles with electrical signals. Others race through a computer game using the electrical signals they generate with their brains.” (paragraph 6

Answer:

Explanation:

The author´s central idea, which is remarking the importance of the Cybathlon, emerges in the second paragraph.

Paragraph 1 serves as the introduction, but it provides only some details about a race without disclosing much information other than sofas being involved, in an attempt to create suspense and engage the reader.

The information provided in the fourth and sixth paragraphs presents further details later in the text.

Why are you a freaky idoit

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

This is a strange question, I have found. Everyone, in fact, is different so for a person to be an idiot is rather relative. Personally, I am an "idoit" in certain subjects of my life, like socialization. Sometimes, though, I am rather good at what I do.
