Central Ideas in We Beat the Street

Question 1 • Expository Reading and Writing - ELA3013 A

Which excerpt from We Beat the Street best supports the central idea that the boys share a supportive friendship?

Answer
A
The three friends drove to a park that had batting cages and pitching machines that tossed the balls to the batter automatically.
B
The next day at school, bored and restless, Rameck, George, and Sampson sat in the back of their math class, making smart remarks and funny noises.
C
"Then the three of you get out of here. Colleges come to this school every day, looking for good students, and you three jokers let it all pass you by."
D
But George would not give up. "Hey, look. I really want to do this. I think we could ALL do this—the three of us—together!"

Explanation

Choice D best supports the idea of a supportive friendship because George encourages all three friends to pursue something together. His words, “I think we could ALL do this—the three of us—together,” show that he believes in his friends and wants them to succeed as a group. The other excerpts describe activities, behavior in class, or a warning rather than the boys supporting one another.
