Answer:

A. to downplay .

Explanation:

The phrase "to soft-pedal" is basically used to mean something that is made to look or seem less important or appear lesser than it really is.

In the text <em>A Defiant Muhammad Ali Was Cherished By Black Men</em>, Karen Grigsby Bates writes how the famous boxer was stripped of his titles after he expressed his strong objection to some of the country's acts due to his religious beliefs. Paragraph 7 shows the sentence <em>"Nor did he soft-pedal his conversion to Islam"</em>, for he strongly believes in his own religion and would <em>"never apologized for his beliefs"</em>. The closest meaning for the phrase<em> "soft-pedal</em>" in this case will be that he did not downplay his conversion to Islam and was open about it.  

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The magazine chosen was "Teen Vogue".

Explanation:

After reading some articles written in Teen Vogue magazine, I came to the conclusion that the magazine uses artifices and languages to attract a female audience and, as the magazine's name says, teenagers. This is done through articles that expose fashion trends, teen celebrities and subjects of teen interest such as fashion, dating, vacation, style, travel, personal care, among others.

The magazine uses a colorful look that attracts the attention of its audience, uses a simple and direct language, easily understandable and that does not require major interpretations. In addition, the magazine uses photos and writes articles and interviews of teen celebrities, which are easily identifiable by its target audience.
