Hi! Welcome to Open Study! :D Can you please mention the extract too?
Read the following excerpt from My Story by Rosa Parks and answer the question that follows. As we entered the building, I asked if I could have a drink of water, because my throat was real dry. There was a fountain, and I was standing right next to it. One of the policemen said yes, but by the time I bent down to drink, another policeman said, “No, you can’t drink no water. You have to wait until you get to jail.” So I was denied the chance to drink a sip of water. I was not going to do anything but wet my throat. I wasn’t going to drink a whole lot of water, even though I was quite thirsty. That made me angry, but I did not respond.
