Answer:
The event with Mr. Radley and his gunshot reveals that people in Maycomb were prejudiced and racist.
Explanation:
'To Kill A Mickingbird' is a novel written by Harper Lee. The book centered around the theme of racism.
In Chapter 6, when Dill, Jem and Scoutt tries to peek into Mr. Radley's house, they hear a gunshot in the house. Mr. Radley fired the gun seeing the shadow of a man, perceiving it to be a <em>black man </em>who might have broke into his house to steal collard greens from his garden.
The theme of racism is prevalent in this event as Mr. Radley shots the gun without even thinking twice or looking whose the shadow was. Perceiving that the shadow is of a <em>black man </em>as an intruder brings forth the theme of racism in the novel and also reveals that people in Maycomb were overtly racist.
Taken from the short story “Water Never Hurt A Man” by Walter E. Edmonds, the author presents two important characters in the story, the boy and his father. <u>ANSWER TO FIRST QUESTION</u>: The boy, whose name is John, is the son of George Brace. John is portrayed as an easily scared child at the beginning. Throughout the narrative of the cold, stormy night, John is always frightened of each stroke of lightning, bolts, and thunders. There are some passages from the text that show this character of George’s son: “At each stroke of lightning his small back stiffened. It was his first year on the canal and he was afraid of storms at night.”/ “…when lightning split the darkness he shut his eyes tight and pulled his head closer into his coat collar, waiting blindly for the thunder.”. <u>ANSWER TO SECOND QUESTION</u>: As regards George, John’s father, he is portrayed as a determined, strong man and he is not afraid of picking a fight with other men. In fact, George is described as the “bully of the Black River Canal” by some people. He constantly encourages John to take control of some things on the old Bacconola, even though these things scare him. For instance, the following excerpt explains this idea: “Get on back, you little pup. Fifty-nine's just round the next bend. Take your whip and tar him. Or I'll tar you proper.”. <u>ANSWER TO THIRD QUESTION</u>: Their relationship changes over the narrative and helps develop it. At the beginning, their relationship seems distant maybe because of John’s fears. His father only gives him instructions and do not pay much attention to John. Towards the end, John’s character changes a little after his fight and starts communicating with his father a bit more maybe because his father noticed how his son has overcome his fears and became a stronger man or a bully as his father. The author refers to John’s transformation or change in attitude in the final dialogue of John with George: “G: "Where's your whip?" J: "I guess I left it a while back. I guess it was in that kind of scrummage we had. I guess it needs a heavier whip anyhow. <em>I guess </em><u><em>a man couldn't spare the time going back for it</em></u><em>.</em>" G: "Sure," said George.”
The transitions in a phrase is used to connect the ideas with the another without any barupt changes. Transitions help author in letting the reader move from one idea to another efficeiently.

In reference from the above excerpt, transition which best completes this paragraph is: "as a result, the library attracts a wide range of art lovers."

Answer:
I would say A) "I'm just not sure I belong here" because it matches the tone of the other dialogue. The rest of the dialogue in the story is a little self deprecating and suggesting that Jim feels like an imposter or like he's not good enough for the team. A) is the only dialogue that matches this tone of self-conciousness
