Here we go again, I thought. Another time-wasting experience. But Sukeforth looked like a sincere person, and I thought I might

as well listen. I agreed to meet him that night. When we met, Sukeforth got right to the point. Mr. Rickey wanted to talk to me about the possibility of becoming a Brown Dodger. If I could get a few days off and go to Brooklyn, my fare and expenses would be paid. At first I said that I couldn't leave my team and go to Brooklyn just like that. Sukeforth wouldn't take no for an answer. He pointed out that I couldn't play for a few days anyhow because of my bum arm. Why should my team object?
I continued to hold out and demanded to know what would happen if the Monarchs fired me. The Dodger scout replied quietly that he didn't believe that would happen.

I shrugged and said I'd make the trip. I figured I had nothing to lose.

The statement that best summarizes this excerpt is: Although Robinson is injured, Sukeforth convinces him he should play for the Dodgers.

At the outset of the text, we find that the narrator was skeptical about having the meeting with Sukeforth. In the meeting, Sukeforth tried to convince Robinson to play for the Dodgers.

Robinson is not sure about this move but Sukeforth exerts efforts in convincing him and in the end, he agreed to it.

In which excerpt does Sir Gawain display honesty and modesty by publicly acknowledging his failings in Authur’s court?
Alexus [3.1K]
If the excerpt is,
<span>If I without discourtesy might quit this board,
And if my liege lady misliked it not,
I would come to your counsel before your court noble.
For I find it not fit, as in faith it is known,
When such a boon is begged before all these knights...

"She guided me in this guise to your glorious hall,
To assay, if such it were, the surfeit of pride
That is rumored of the retinue of the Round Table.
She put this shape upon me to puzzle your wits,...

"Behold , sir," said he, and handles the belt,
"This is the blazon of the blemish that I bear on my neck;
This is the sign of sore loss that I have suffered there;
For the cowardice and coveting that I came to there;
This is the badge of false faith that I was found in there,...

"No, by God," said Sir Gawain, "that granted me life,
I shall grudge not the guerdon, grim though it prove;
Bestow but one stroke, and I shall stand still,
And you may lay on as you like till the last of my part
be paid."

Then the answer would be </span>"Behold , sir," said he, and handles the belt,
"This is the blazon of the blemish that I bear on my neck;
This is the sign of sore loss that I have suffered there;
For the cowardice and coveting that I came to there;
