Comparing Central Ideas

Question 2 • CR CCPS 1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 Sem 1 V26-27

Which detail best supports the central idea that participants in the boycott faced personal harm?

Answer

“Nixon then called Clifford Durr, who, as a white attorney, was able to get a civil answer from the desk sergeant.”

“Parks had been charged with violating the state’s segregation laws.”

“‘Mrs. Durr was the first person I saw as I came through the iron mesh door.’”

“‘There were tears in her eyes, and she seemed shaken, probably wondering what they had done to me.’”

Explanation

The detail about tears and feeling shaken shows the emotional distress caused by what happened to someone involved in the boycott. It most directly supports the idea that participants faced personal harm. The other choices describe legal or logistical details without showing harm as clearly.
