Read the excerpt from "It's Only Fair.” Maritza rolled her eyes. "That’s why we should do our report on Irene Morgan,” she said. "She was the first black person to get a new law made by refusing to give up her seat for a white person on a bus. Rosa Parks might be more famous for it, but Irene Morgan did it first. "Listen,” she said, not giving Avery a chance to respond. "It’s a great story.” What would be the advantage of changing this excerpt to Avery’s first-person point of view?
Answer
A
to learn more about how Avery feels about Maritza’s treatment of her
B
to add more facts about both Irene Morgan and Rosa Parks
C
to get more background on why Maritza treats Avery this way
D
to compare Rosa Parks and Irene Morgan in more detail
Explanation
Changing the excerpt to Avery’s first-person point of view would let readers hear Avery’s thoughts and feelings directly. That could show how she feels when Maritza interrupts her and does not give her a chance to respond. It would not automatically add historical facts about Irene Morgan or Rosa Parks, or explain Maritza’s reasons for treating Avery this way.
