Read the excerpt from "Myths About the Founding Fathers."What about his excellent throwing arm?Throwing a silver dollar across a river may have been quite a feat for a young man, but there is one fact that proves this story wrong. Silver dollars didn’t exist when Washington was a boy. The legend appears to come from a story explained by his biographer (you’ll meet him in a minute). Washington grew up north of Fredericksburg, Virginia, on Ferry Farm. This is very close to the Rappahannock River. His biographer wrote that George and his friends would throw rocks across the river while waiting for the ferry. The Rappahannock was only about 300 feet wide during Washington’s time. Throwing a rock across it would have been easy. Which answer best summarizes this text?George Washington's biographer wrote that George and his friends threw rocks across the river while waiting for the ferry. The Rappahannock River was only about 300 feet wide during Washington’s time. George Washington did not have an excellent throwing arm because the river was not very wide. The myth is not true, even though Washington did like to throw rocks. The myth about a young George Washington throwing a silver dollar across a river is false. Although he did throw rocks across a river as a boy, silver dollars did not exist when Washington was young. George Washington's biographer made up the myth about his excellent throwing arm. George Washington lived near the Rappahannock River in the state of Virginia.

What is most likely the speaker’s reason to open with this? in approaching this problem, we cannot turn the clock back to 1868, when the [fourteenth] amendment was adopted, or even to 1896, when plessy v. ferguson was written. we must consider public education in the light of its full development and its present place in american life throughout the nation. only in this way can it be determined if segregation in public schools deprives these plaintiffs of the equal protection of the laws.
