Question

ead the excerpt from It's Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference. "Look," Neto said, "if we don't take a stand now, those fans will say those things forever. Even after we graduate, they'll keep putting Hispanic players down. We have a chance to stop it now. Finally there was no more to say. The question came: "Who votes not to play the next game?" Every player raised his hand. That night, Neto, Jesse, and another teammate walked into the coach's office and handed him their uniforms and pads. They explained why they were leaving and expected him to understand, but they were disappointed. "The coach said, 'Quitting will just make it worse,'" Neto remembers. "He said the fans would call us losers and quitters instead of respecting us. Nothing could convince him. After a while we just walked out." Now there was no turning back. Which idea from this excerpt further complicates Neto’s conflict?

Answer 1

The answer is D. The coach doesn't support Neto, Jesse, and the other teammate.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the coach states that quitting won't help get the problem solved. If he supported the students, then he would've agreed with them. However, he disagreed with them by saying that it wouldn't help to quit

Answer 2

What complicates Neto's conflict is that the team's coach does not oppose the idea that Neto and Jesse had.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the text shown above, we can see that Neto, Jess and their teammates are tired of how Latino and Spanish athletes are being mistreated and devalued. They believe that this kind of prejudice will never change and that it damages their future as athletes. For this reason, they decide to leave the team, as a form of protest. However, the coach does not support this decision and claims that leaving the team will only worsen their image within the sport and the audience. This lack of support further complicates the conflict they are involved in.
