Answer:

Credibility and an American approach to sports analysis.

Explanation:

The biggest difference in sports analysis between Europe and America is, in many's view, the Americans' obsession with statistics. One cannot watch a sports game without the commentators using at least a dozen statistics to prove the greatness/importance of a team, player or game.

Gerald Early is no different. The task of writing about Jackie Robinson is not easy for anyone, with Robinson being such an important figure in American sports. Early was probably not the first and surely will not be the last to do that.

In order to add credibility to his writing, distinguish his work from those of other people and last, but not least, to appeal to the American reader, Early tries to use as many sources as possible to support his arguments. He does that masterfully because, instead of the sources diminishing Early's voice in the writing, they do the opposite. Gerald Early uses the sources to enhance his own voice by always making the sources' relevance dependent on his own claims.

Zoos and wildlife sanctuaries keep animals safe and preserve endangered species. Plus, they model their captive habitats to match their natural ones. They don't have to hunt or worry about dying!

Answer:

Parallelism

Explanation:

The given excerpt is an example of parallelism.

Parallelism (also known as parallel structure or parallel construction) is a figure of speech in which phrases in a sentence are grammatically the same or similar in construction, sound, meaning, or meter. The purpose of parallelism is to give balance, clarity, pattern, or rhythm.

In the second sentence of the excerpt, we have several repetitions:

There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go. (there + past simple tense + negation)
... nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. (negation + infinitive)
... nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. (a part of the repetition I previously pointed out - nothing + infinitive).
