Question

1. part b: which quote from the text best supports the answer to part a

a. \but in between the important cases, i found myself spending most of my time prosecuting people of color for things we white kids did with impunity growing up in the suburbs.\ (paragraph 2)
b. \i walked up to the east entrance of city hall and tagged the words n.y.p.d. get your hands off me on a gatepost in red paint. the surveillance video shows me doing this, 20 feet from the police officer manning the gate.\ (paragraph 12)
c. \i went home and blogged about the incident, publicizing what id done and posting pictures, before returning to the guard tower the next day, and the next, to hand over my license and letter.\ (paragraph 15)
d. \some time later the door swung open and a co led three more men into our cell. eighteen men were now sitting and lying feet to head, or feet to feet, along the length of the bench and floor.\ (paragraph 31)

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the answer to Part A (likely related to racial bias in law enforcement or differential treatment). Option A talks about prosecuting people of color for things white kids did without punishment, which supports a theme of racial disparity in law enforcement. Option B is about tagging, C about blogging, D about a cell scene—none relate to racial bias as directly as A.

Answer:

A. "But in between the important cases, I found myself spending most of my time prosecuting people of color for things we white kids did with impunity growing up in the suburbs." (Paragraph 2)
