The excerpt from the letter contains a historical allusion to the discrimination and bigotry faced by African Americans throughout history in the United States.

What is an allusion?

We allude to something or someone when we mention it or them indirectly in our speech or text. In other words, we mention something but we do not provide any explanation about it, assuming our audience will understand the reference.

For example, suppose you call someone a GoodSamaritan after watching them help someone in the street. You would be making an allusion to a biblical character who is known for being compassionate.

In the excerpt from Jackie Robinson's letter, Robinson makes an allusion to the discrimination faced by African Americans throughout history. That is waht he means when he says, "the treatment accorded to us through the years."

With the information above in mind, we can select option B as the correct answer.

Why do you think Bly's editor told her to describe what she found no matter how positive or negative it may be?

Answers

Answer:

This is because, as a journalist, she owed the public the duty to report the truth free from personal bias or opinions.

Explanation:

Nellie Bly was a famous journalist in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She was especially known for going under cover or disguising her self, to obtain sensitive information. Her editor at the Newspapers establishment she worked in, encouraged her to write up things as she finds them; good or bad, and to write the truth at all times.

This instruction must have been given as this was a basic requirement for every excellent journalist. Unbiased, true, and accurate reports are among the required and fundamental ethics of the job.

Final answer:

Bly's editor advised her to describe what she found, whether positive or negative, to maintain credibility and objectivity.

Explanation:

The editor told Bly to describe what she found, regardless of whether it was positive or negative, in order to maintain credibility and objectivity in her journalistic work. By being honest in her evaluations and not favoring any particular author or publisher, Bly could offer unbiased reviews that readers could trust.
