Introduction to Making a Difference: It's Our World, Too! — Quiz
Question 7 • Literature and Composition I
Read the excerpt from It's Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference . Now Jesse Paz was proposing to take away the thing Neto loved most, to turn him into just another big kid at school and maybe even ruin his chance for a college scholarship, all because a few jerks had said things that turned Jesse off. Neto didn't answer for a while. Finally he said, "I've never heard anyone say those things, Jesse," and walked away. But Jesse's words stayed with Neto. What if it were true? Could he really perform before people who felt that way about him? Could he represent a school that would let it happen? What details from the excerpt cause Neto to be conflicted about playing football for the crowd?
Answer
A
He realizes that he may lose a friend.
B
He is worried about getting too much negative attention.
C
He is worried about losing a football scholarship.
D
He realizes that racist remarks are being made.
Explanation
Jesse tells Neto that people have said things that made him question playing for the school. Neto says he has never heard those remarks, but then wonders whether he can perform for people who feel that way about him. This shows that the racist remarks make him conflicted about playing for the crowd; the scholarship concern is Jesse’s worry, not what Neto focuses on here.
