Answer:
The historic event Jackie Robinson is referring to is:
Option C: Governor Faubus’s calling of the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine African American students from entering Little Rock Central High School, despite the US Supreme Court’s ruling against segregation
Explanation:
The 'Brown vs. Board of Education' made a rule that public schools would be integrated and there would be no segregation made between the whites and blacks in the school. In case it is done, it would be against law. But the governor of 'Arkansas', Governor Faubus, was against this law and he stopped nine African American students to enter Little Rock Central High School.
Jackie Robinson wrote a letter to President Eisenhower urging that he should take quick action and protect the rights of those nine African American students. President's intervention was important in preventing their rights.
We can think that the author used the dialogue instead of description to show who the characters are. Using the dialogue will allow the characters to have like their own space in the plot and in this way, they have prominence as well. Making them talk shows distinctive characteristics of them and make it easier to identify them.
The correct answer is "The narrator mocks the narrative style of epic poetry by applying it to a beast fable."

Hope this helps :)
