Explanation:

The text describes that as an adult, Imogene refused to move to the back of a segregated bus, which was an action to protest segregation. The first dropdown needs to match her childhood experience with unfair treatment, and the second matches her adult action. For the childhood blank, "wrote stories about" fits as a response to being badly treated. For the adult blank, the action described is taking a direct stand by staying seated, which aligns with "took direct action" (implied by her choice to stay in the front, but from the context, the correct completion for the adult is an action phrase, and the logical flow is that as a child she wrote about the unfair treatment, and as an adult she acted to protest).

Answer:

When she was a child, Imogene wrote stories about the unfair treatment she received. By high school, she understood why she was badly treated. As an adult, Imogene took direct action to protest segregation.
