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.
Simple, put the research source in your own words. For example, I were to put your question in my own words I would do this: How can I use researched information without quoting it word for word?
