Lyrics and Poetry: The Birmingham Church Bombing

Question 3 • ARC English 10 Semester 2 CR/Summer

Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows. Student B reads the following excerpt from "Civil Peace": "At first he went daily, then every other day and finally once a week, to the offices of the Coal Corporation where he used to be a miner, to find out what was what. The only thing he did find out in the end was that that little house of his was even a greater blessing than he had thought. Some of his fellow ex-miners who had nowhere to return at the end of the day's waiting just slept outside the doors of the offices and cooked what meal they could scrounge together in Bournvita tins. As the weeks lengthened and still nobody could say what was what Jonathan discontinued his weekly visits altogether and faced his palm wine bar." After reading the excerpt, Student B writes this: "Jonathan realizes that he is not going to get a job or any help from the Coal Corporation and must depend on his own devices to make money." Which type of evidence describes the support in this student's response best?

Answer
A
personal connection
B
explicit details
C
inferred details
D
textual evidence

Explanation

The excerpt never directly says Jonathan will not get a job or receive help. Instead, it says no one could tell him what was happening, and he eventually stopped visiting the offices and turned to his palm-wine bar. Student B uses those clues to draw a conclusion, so the support is inferred details.
