Read the passage. (1) Many American men were drafted during World War II. (2) Many other men volunteered to serve. (3) In fact,

so many men entered the armed services that professional baseball experienced a shortage of good players. (4) Philip K. Wrigley had an interesting solution to the problem. (5) He started a new league. (6) It was called the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). (7) To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs. (8) They were very popular at that time. (9) The AAGPBL was a hit. (10) In 1948, the year in which the league reached its high point of popularity, more than a million fans came to watch AAGPBL games. (11) The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker. (12) Dorothy Kamenshek was also a fine player. (13) After World War II ended, the AAGPBL declined in popularity.

<span>"To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs, which were very popular at that time." is the correct answer. The last choice makes it sound like he's only scouting the popular women's softball clubs rather than all of them. The second to last option is not grammatically correct because of the comma between scouted and women's. The second option just replaces the period with  a comma and and, which makes it still seem as if the two pieces of information are separate.</span>

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The universal theme present in this excerpt is:

A. Hard work often leads to injuries and suffering.

Explanation:

"A Girl from Yamhill" is a memoir by author Beverly Cleary. In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, the universal theme that can be noticed is that hard work often leads to injuries and suffering. <u>We all know that, as a general rule, farm work is hard work. It demands a lot of physical strength from those performing it. The character in the excerpt has the muscles to do the work, but his shoulder sockets are too shallow for the weight of those muscles. When the horses jer.k on the reins, he dislocates his arm. This injury obviously leads to pain and suffering.</u>
