Question

read the excerpt from warriors dont cry.
realizing that the dilemma of integration wasnt going to be resolved quickly, everybody seemed to be concerned about our falling behind in our schoolwork. teachers from our community along with other professionals were offering to give us books and to tutor us. grace lorch, who had helped elizabeth escape the mob, and her husband, dr. lorch, organized tutoring sessions. it felt good to dress in school clothes and go to philander smith, our communitys college. for part of each day, i studied schoolwork and spent time with my eight friends, enjoying a thimbleful of normality.
what ideas are presented in the excerpt? choose three answers.

• the little rock nine were readily accepted at the white school.
• community members rallied to support the students education.
• the narrator chose to return to her original school.
• daily meetings with tutors temporarily replaced school.
• the narrator enjoyed the return of a school routine.

Explanation:

1. Analyze "The Little Rock Nine were readily accepted at the white school": The excerpt focuses on tutoring and alternative study due to integration issues, not acceptance at the white school. Eliminate this.
2. Analyze "Community members rallied to support the students’ education": The text says "Teachers from our community along with other professionals were offering to give us books and to tutor us" and the Lorches organized tutoring, showing community support. This is valid.
3. Analyze "The narrator chose to return to her original school": The excerpt mentions studying at Philander Smith (a college in the community), not returning to the original school. Eliminate this.
4. Analyze "Daily meetings with tutors temporarily replaced school": The text says "I studied schoolwork... at Philander Smith" with tutoring, implying tutoring sessions (daily meetings) replaced regular school. This is valid.
5. Analyze "The narrator enjoyed the return of a school routine": "It felt good to dress in school clothes... enjoying a thimbleful of normality" shows the narrator liked the school - like routine. This is valid.

Answer:

B. Community members rallied to support the students’ education
D. Daily meetings with tutors temporarily replaced school
E. The narrator enjoyed the return of a school routine
