Kinsley stared at her reflection, noting the nose upturned too much, lips too thin, and wondered just how much hair one needed to cover these ears. Clearly, much more than she had, Kinsley reasoned as she glided the comb through her brown tresses. How could her little sister be jealous of this mess? Kinsley sighed too loudly, and her bangs blew out of place and the tip of her ear emerged from her hair. Maybe she should start wearing a hat.
Taking her phone, she turned her head and raised her chin, pursing her lips in a vain effort to make them look full, and snapped a selfie. Only seven selfies later, she took one that she deemed "postable" and uploaded it to her social media page. She was getting better at this; the last one took no less than thirteen tries to get all her disagreeable parts to appear inconspicuous enough to satisfy her discriminating eye. These ears were not going to humiliate her, and she was certainly not going to give Megan Pendergrass an opportunity to mortify her again.
Meryl banged on the door, and before Kinsley could grant her permission or bar her from entering, she was breaking in and flopping onto her bed.
"Are you still staring at yourself? You know, Narcissus died and turned into a flower doing that," Meryl said. "It's really not good to be so in love with yourself," she offered, flipping through Kinsley's teen magazine.
If only I did love myself, Kinsley thought, pulling on a pink-and-white checked hat, breaking in the floppy brim until she could make it cover her protruding ears.
"Love the Body You're In by Rochelle Rodriguez," Meryl mused. "You certainly don't need to read this article! I'm watching TV if you want to join me." Meryl tossed the magazine, open to the article, on Kinsley's bed and left.
Kinsley picked it up and began reading. Thirty minutes later, she removed the hat, positioned the camera and smiled. One ear still peeked through her thin, brown hair, but this was the body she was in, and she would love it.

Which statement from the passage supports the idea that Nelson Mandela was a courageous man?
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is known throughout the world for his fight against apartheid, the separation of blacks and whites. In 1944, while in his 20s, Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC). The ANC was a political organization that fought against the racist policies of the South African government.
Mandela led a peaceful resistance against the South African government for 20 years. He implemented strategies such as boycotts, strikes, civil disobedience, and non-cooperation. As a leader of the ANC, Mandela fought for blacks to have the right to vote and to travel without the use of documents called dompas. Mandela also fought for workers' rights and for free education for children of all colors.
In 1960, the South African government banned the ANC. The organization went underground. Mandela decided that peaceful resistance was ineffective in the fight to end apartheid. He began supporting militant or aggressive actions against the South African government. In 1962, Mandela was arrested for leading a national workers' strike. The South African government sentenced him to five years in prison. While in prison, Mandela was charged with sabotage and was sentenced to life in prison.
The South African government had hoped that locking Mandela behind bars would discourage his followers. However, Mandela became a symbol for the anti-apartheid movement. In 1985, President P. W. Botha tried to make a deal with Mandela. He offered to set Mandela free if Mandela agreed to call off the armed fight against apartheid. Mandela immediately declined this offer.
In 1989, Frederik Willem de Klerk became the president of South Africa. He released Mandela from prison in 1990 and lifted the ban on the ANC. After spending 27 years in prison, Mandela continued to pressure the South African government to end apartheid. He called on foreign leaders to join him in the fight for blacks to have the same rights as whites. Mandela also continued to support the ANC's use of weapons against the South African government.
Mandela worked with President F. W. de Klerk to establish the first multiracial elections in South Africa. In 1993, both men received the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to end apartheid. The government of South Africa held the first democratic elections in 1994. Nelson Mandela won the election and became the first black president of South Africa.

A. Nelson Mandela won the election and became the first black president of South Africa.
B. In 1944, while in his 20s, Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC).
C. After spending 27 years in prison, Mandela continued to pressure the South African government to end apartheid.
D. He offered to set Mandela free if Mandela agreed to call off the armed fight against apartheid.
