Read the excerpt from Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice by Phillip Hoose, and then answer the question.

“We had been studying the Constitution in Miss Nesbitt's class. I knew I had rights. . . . I was thinking, Why should I have to get up just because a driver tells me to, or just because I'm black?” Colvin said.

Which is the best paraphrase of the excerpt?

A) Colvin explained that after studying the Constitution at school, she felt that her rights were being violated. She questioned why she should have to get up if she had paid her fare.
B) She had been studying the Constitution and knew that she did not have to get up from her seat just because she is black.
C) After studying the Constitution, I knew I had rights and I did not have to give up my seat for anyone just because of the color of my skin.
D) Colvin knew she had rights because she had studied the Constitution in Miss Nesbitt’s class. And so, she began to wonder why she was being treated so unfairly.

Westridge, ohio — more than 600 transportation employees went on strike at midnight last night after the westridge city council rejected their demand for a 10% pay increase. the strike affects all bus and rail services throughout westridge and the neighboring communities of turlock, smithfield, and lowell grove. "we hoped we would not be forced to strike, but until our demands are met, we really have no choice," said wanda thompson, a representative of the transportation employees union. "we simply don't get paid what we deserve." members of the westridge city council see the situation differently. "our employees already earn 6% more than the state average for similar transportation jobs," said raoul cobian, president of the westridge city council. hopefully the two groups can come to an agreement soon and bring this unnecessary strike to an end. what is the common name for the underlined information in the article?
