Answer 1

D. "The 'inferior' classmates also transformed into timid and subservient children who even during recess isolated themselves, including those who had previously been dominant in the class." (Paragraph 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

'Jabari Unmasked' is a poem written by Nikki Grimes. In her poem, she asserts that prejudice makes "spirits ripped and torn." This theme is presented in 'The Blue-Eyed, Brown-Eyed Exercise.'

"The Blue-Eyed, Brown-Eyed Exercise" was performed by a third-grade teacher, Jane Elliott. The exercise was performed to help her student understand how unfair treatment of African Americans affect them.

The theme of prejudice creates "spirits ripped and torn' is found in option D statement. The statement clearly states that how prejudice has transformed even the dominant student of the class into an 'inferior' and timid child.

Therefore, optin D is correct.
