Explanation:

1. For the first blank, the context refers to Imogene's childhood experience with unfair treatment; "was badly treated" matches this scenario as it describes the unfair experience she had.
2. For the second blank, the text shows adult Imogene took direct action by refusing to move to the back of the bus, which is an act of protest. The phrase that fits this action is "refused to move" (inferred from the provided text about her staying seated to protest segregation, as this is the action that aligns with protesting segregation).

Answer:

When she was a child, Imogene was badly treated by the unfair [system]. By high [school], she [understood] where she was badly treated. As an adult, Imogene refused to move to protest segregation.
