Read the following excerpt from Mariska’s speech on the importance of adopting pets from a shelter:

(1) “Marvin spent the first six months of his puppy life alone. Separated from his mother and siblings, he scavenged for food in alleys and faced constant danger from cars and wild animals. (2) When shelter rescuers found him, he was malnourished, mangy, and host to a swarm of fleas. (3) But his eyes shone with a pure puppy joy when they bathed him, fed him, and scratched his furry belly. Before long, he was ready to go to a loving home. (4) This is Marvin today. Have you ever seen a happier dog? Adopting a shelter pet gives all the world’s Marvins a brighter future.”

Which detail best supports the inference that Rosa Parks did not break federal law by her refusal to give up her seat?
The Montgomery Bus Boycott
The true spark of the boycott came unintentionally from Rosa Parks, now known as "the mother of the Civil Rights Movement." As stipulated by a
Montgomery city ordinance, African American bus riders were required to sit in the back of the bus. In addition, they were required to give up their
seats to white riders if the "white seats" were taken. Ms. Parks, an African American seamstress born in 1913, obeyed the law and sat in the back of
the bus. However, when a white man told her to give up her seat, she refused. The mere refusal was enough to get her arrested.

Daniel could see all of Maple Street from his porch, and he marveled at the change. As a boy, he could see only three homes and the general store; now there were six shiny storefronts in his view. Where his pop had once hitched their wagon, his own automobile was parked. And his was not the only Model T in town. Those Detroit factories were filling the streets.

In fact, he was starting to believe Henry Ford’s predictions as he watched his neighbors pack up their automobiles for their Sunday drives. They could probably reach Springfield by noon if they were so inclined, or perhaps they were heading to the country for a picnic. It did not seem to matter where people were going, as long as they were going fast.

Excerpt from Latitude and Longitude
Kathy Hufford
1 The earth is effectively a sphere, so how do we describe where a
point is on its surface? The most common way to locate points on
the surface of the Earth is by standard, geographic coordinates
called Latitude and longitude. These coordinates values are
measured in degrees, and represent angular distances calculated
from the center of the Earth
We can imagine the Earth as a sphere, with an axis around which it
spins. The ends of the axis are the North and South Poles. The
Equator is a line around the earth, an equal distance from both
Mórcator Projection
poles. The Equator is also the Latitude line given the value of 0
degrees. This means it is the starting point for measuring latitude. Latitude values indicate the angular distances between the
Equator and points north or south of it on the surface of the Earth
Here is a quote from Kepler: 'He provided himself with a cross-staff for determining the angular distance between stars or
other objects, and, finding the divisions of the scale inaccurate, constructed a table of corrections, an improvement that seems to
have been a decided innovation, the previous practice having been to use the best available instrument and ignore its errors."
What is the definition of angular distances that is used for calculating geographical coordinates? Consider sections 1, 2, and Kepler'e
quote
A)
8)
It is the angular distances that are the starting point for measuring
Latitude
It is the longitude values are indicating the angular distance between the
Prime Meridian and points east or west of it on the surface of the Earth
it is the distance from the Earth when divided equally into 360 degrees of
longitude, and there are 180 degrees of longitude to the east of the Prime
Meridian
It is the angular separation between two objects as perceived by an
observer as the observer perceives the distance made at the eye by lines
drawn from the eye to two objects
