Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When Eckford arrived at Central High School, she saw a wild scene of a mob of whites filling the surrounding streets and grounds. She was alone and nervous as she passed the angry, shouting whites. Eckford knew her purpose and pressed on, placing her faith in the presence of the Arkansas National Guard that she assumed was there to protect her.
