Read this excerpt from i never had it made. branch rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the brooklyn dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come. he knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. there would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence. he was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results. he took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign. he was voted permission to make the brooklyn club the pioneer in bringing blacks into baseball. winning his directors' approval was almost insignificant in contrast to the task which now lay ahead of the dodger president. he made certain that word of his plans did not leak out, particularly to the press. which detail best supports the central idea that branch rickey understood the risks involved in integrating baseball? "branch rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the brooklyn dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come." "he knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. there would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence." "he was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results." "he took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign."

The answer is:

"He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence."  

In the passage from Jackie Robinson's autobiography "I Never Had it Made," the narrator conveys the idea that the boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Branch Rickey, was determined to integrate black players and was conscious of the consequences it could bring. For example, he acknowledges it would be extremely complicated, and could produce indignation, resistance and racial brutality.

The detail that best supports the central idea that Branch Rickey understood the risks involved in integrating baseball is:

"He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence."

Explanation:

"I Never Had It Made" is an autobiography by Jackie Robinson, who became the first black baseball player in major leagues. Robinson was hired by Branch Rickey, a former baseball player and, at that time, a sports executive who fought the status quo by employing African-American players at a time of great prejudice in America. Rickey was very much aware that the fight for integration would be a tough one, as is shown in the following lines:

"He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence."

Still, Rickey was willing to win over the opposition. He trusted his values and believed in fighting for what was right. Rickey changed Robinson's mind and life. Robinson, who was used to seeing white men as the enemy, was taught to remain calm and to fight for his cause in a non-violent way by Rickey.

explanation: because it has a dangling   construction error. hope this !

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
