Question

Thurgood Marshall was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended Howard University, where he studied law. He served for years as influential legal counsel to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), acting as a champion of civil rights for African Americans. He is famous for winning the 1954 case Brown vs. The Board of Education of Topeka, in which it was ruled that racial segregation in schools was illegal. Marshall became the first African American to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. His remarkable achievements — as a lawyer, as a Supreme Court justice, and as a human being — were nothing short of extraordinary. What effect does the author's use of words with strong connotations have on the paragraph? It creates boredom. It creates curiosity. It conveys admiration. It conveys excitement.

Answer 1

It conveys admiration.

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of words with strong connotations that the author uses aim to reflect the admiration that the author has for Thurgood Marshall and all the achievements that he has done throughout his life. The writer is portraying him as a figure that should be admired and taken into account when we talk about civil rights for African Americans, their fight through history, and how Marshall should always be present in our minds as a role model.
