Question

Can someone please check my answer? Thank you.

Answer 1

"While Roberto Clemente amassed a mountain of impressive statistics during his baseball career, he was often mocked by the print media in the United States for his heavy Spanish accent. Clemente was also subjected to the double discrimination of being a foreigner and being black in a racially segregated society. Although the media tried to call him "Bob" or "Bobby" and many of his baseball cards use "Bob," Clemente explicitly rejected those nicknames, stating in no uncertain terms that his name was Roberto. There was also confusion over the correct form of his surname. For 27 years the plaque at the National Baseball Hall of Fame read "Roberto Walker Clemente," mistakenly placing his mother's maiden name before his father's surname. Only in 2000 was it changed to its proper Latin American form, Roberto Clemente Walker."

This excerpt would most likely inspire a story about

A. the campaign to correct Roberto Clemente's name in the Hall of Fame
B. the impressive baseball career of Roberto Clemente
C. the marriage of Roberto Clemente's parents
D. the nicknames earned by Roberto Clemente during his career

Answer 2

I think it's D

Answer 3

I know C isn't it for sure nor A

Answer 4

False. It would be A. He did not WANT those nicknames, he preferred to be called Roberto, and insisted he be called so.

Answer 5

I don't think it's B because it doesn't talk much about his career.

But it says nothing about a campaign and only speaks about the mistake with a few sentences.
