While roberto clemente amassed a mountain of impressive statistics during his baseball career, he was often mocked by the print media in the united states for his heavy spanish accent. clemente was also subjected to the double discrimination of being a foreigner and being black in a racially segregated society. although the media tried to call him "bob" or "bobby" and many of his baseball cards use "bob," clemente explicitly rejected those nicknames, stating in no uncertain terms that his name was roberto. there was also confusion over the correct form of his surname. for 27 years the plaque at the national baseball hall of fame read "roberto walker clemente," mistakenly placing his mother's maiden name before his father's surname. only in 2000 was it changed to its proper latin american form, roberto clemente walker.

Select the correct text in the passage. in richard connell's short story "the most dangerous game," zaroffs aristocratic appearance and dignified manners mask his sinister, animalistic nature. which line from the excerpt best provides a glimpse into his true nature? rainsford's first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general's face. he was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night from which rainsford had come. his eyes, too, were black and very bright. he had high cheekbones, a sharpcut nose, a spare, dark face-the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat. turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign. the giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew. "ivan is an incredibly strong fellow," remarked the general, "but he has the misfortune to be deaf and dumb. a simple fellow, but, i'm afraid, like all his race, a bit of a savage." "is he russian?
