What does these 2 pieces of evidence show? " I wrote about Claudette because she made contributions to human rights far too important to be forgotten.” “I believe the book has cast a brighter, broader light on her courage. I’m proud of it’s success, and delighted that it’s now out in a superb paperback edition with a new afterward”.

The given passage shows how Phillip thinks of his work and his decision to focus on the less known Claudette Colvin despite her being the very first to oppose the discriminatory prejudice against the blacks.

Explanation:

The given lines were spoken by Phillip Hoose in "Why Did I Write About Claudette Colvin?". And in this article, he describes why he decided to write the story of the 15-year old black girl who was shunned and dismissed by everyone because of her decision to stand up for her own rights.

As in the given statement, Phillip stands by his decision to write about the lesser-known Claudette who first 'ignited' the fire of revolt for the discrimination against the black people. And the sentences/ evidence given in the question shows that the author Phillip agrees with the decision to write about her and emphasize on her contribution to the fight for human rights, and the lack of information about the 'first' Rosa Parks.  

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
