Answer

9. De las opciones disponibles, la que mejor resume el punto principal del párrafo es: **Black people are punished for crimes that, for white people, are considered non-criminal.** Las demás opciones no reflejan con precisión la idea central del argumento presentado.<br /><br />10. La palabra "stripes" en el pasaje se refiere más cercanamente a: **C. noun | marks indicating a prisoner's uniform (sustantivo | marcas que indican el uniforme de un prisionero).** El autor utiliza "stripes" para simbolizar el sufrimiento y la opresión que han experimentado los afroamericanos, en contraste con la "luz y la sanación" que han recibido los blancos. Aunque las rayas también pueden ser bandas (A) o marcas de sangre de una batalla (B), en este contexto, la connotación de castigo y encarcelamiento es más apropiada. La opción D no se ajusta al contexto ya que "stripes" se usa como sustantivo, no como verbo.<br />
