Question

read the excerpt from its our world, too!: young people who are making a difference. since that letter was read, there have been no more racial slurs from the marsing husky fans, at least none loud enough for the players to hear. neto and andy know that they and jesse and rigo and johnny didnt do away with racial prejudice in their town. many white parents still wont let their sons and daughters date hispanics, and the two groups still dont mix much outside school. but they also know that they did what no one before them had done. \at least,\ says neto, \we made it known that we wouldnt accept racism in our school or from our fans. we made a difference in the part of our lives that we really could control.\ which statement best describes how neto has been affected by the conflict he experienced? neto feels frustrated because racism still exists in his community. neto now knows that he can make a difference if he decides to take a stand. neto now wants to take a stand against other forms of racism in his town. neto is happy that he worked with andy, jesse, rigo, and johnny.

Explanation:

The excerpt states that while overall racism in the town hasn't ended, Neto recognizes that he and his peers successfully addressed racism in the school/fan context they could control, and he acknowledges they made a tangible difference by taking action. This matches the idea that he now knows he can effect change when he takes a stand. The other options are incorrect: he doesn't express frustration about ongoing racism as the main takeaway, he doesn't mention wanting to take on other forms of racism, and his key takeaway is not just happiness about working with others but the impact of their stand.

Answer:

Neto now knows that he can make a difference if he decides to take a stand.
