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.

The alliteration is that she's telling you how her life was and how some days it was good and other days it wan't so good. She uses alliteration because she wants her reader to know how days were during her life. Although she wasn't a slave she still had a hard life and the alliteration she uses represents that and how she wishes things were easier and she's saying that life was hard for folks back then. I hope this helps.

1. Authority

Note the mention of "Nobel prize-winning scientist", which is generally the most prestigious scientists out there. What they say usually have authority and is believed by the ordinary people.

2. Emotion

First of all, how does the author know that the group is made up of "bigots". This is playing on the person's emotions, and trying to make them angry at their mistake, as well as give them a different group that they should look into.

3. Appeal to Logic

Note the usage of "make sense", as well as the building up of argument from the logical conclusion that "Diversity makes sense.. (via these reasons)".
