Question 6

La novela To Kill a Mockingbird utiliza el juicio de Tom Robinson para mostrar cómo el racismo destruye la justicia. Tom, un hombre negro inocente, es juzgado injustamente debido al prejuicio racial. La opción A se refiere a valentía vs. miedo, que no es el tema principal del juicio. La B trata sobre la pérdida de inocencia infantil, relacionada más con Scout y Jem, no con el juicio. La D es sobre lealtad familiar, lo que no es el foco del juicio de Tom. Por lo tanto, la opción C es la correcta.

En el contexto del racismo en Maycomb, un jurado que tarda más de lo habitual en un juicio de un negro indica que algunos jurados lucharon contra sus prejuicios raciales. La opción A es incorrecta porque el caso no era complicado, sino que estaba marcado por el racismo. La C es errónea porque la declaración de Bob Ewell no confundió, sino que era falsa. La D es incorrecta porque el jurado no encontró a Tom inocente. Así, la opción B es la correcta.

En To Kill a Mockingbird, el "mockingbird" simboliza la inocencia destruida. Tom Robinson es inocente y su injusta condena representa la destrucción de la inocencia, al igual que el mockingbird que no hace daño y es perseguido. Las camelias de Mrs. Dubose se refieren a valentía, el agujero en el árbol a la amistad con Boo Radley, y la casa Radley a misterio. Por lo tanto, la opción B es la correcta.

Answer:

C. The destructive power of racism on justice
