Black people supported me with total loyalty. They supported me morally: they came to sit in a hostile audience in unprecedented numbers to make the turnstiles hum as they never had before at ballparks all over the nation. Money is America's God, and business people can dig black power if it coincides with green power, so these fans were important to the success of Mr. Rickey's "Noble Experiment."

He realizes that he was only able to keep playing because he made money for the team owners.

Explanation:

Jackie Robinson’s autobiography "I Never Had It Made" details how Robinson became the first-ever black man, a descendent of a slave, to play in the Major Leagues. But despite his huge success, the journey wasn't full of roses but rather more of thorns.

In the given excerpt from the book, he mentioned how he got moral support from his own people while receiving racist and death threats from Whites. And despite Coach Rickey's insistence of his support in any circumstance, Robinson also knew that he is a businessman first. And this need to profit, to succeed in his "Noble Experiment" requires the successful integration of Robinson in the game or else he'll also be labeled a failure.

So, when Robinson stated that "Money is America's God, and business people can dig black power if it coincides with green power, so these fans were important to the success of [the experiment]", he realizes that his influence in bringing Black people to watch the game, thereby increasing the attendees and also influencing the profit of the game. This made him realize that he was able to play because of his influence, his ability to get more people to attend the game, and bring in more profit for the team owners.

the irony is that the name has ''fortunate'' in it, but the kid named fortunato is not fortunate to be named that.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
