Question

Read the excerpt from My Story.

It was unfair to segregate us. But neither the bus company nor the mayor nor the city commissioners would listen. I remember having discussions about how a boycott of the city buses would really hurt the bus company in its pocketbook. But I also remember asking a few people if they would be willing to stay off the buses to make things better for us, and them saying that they had too far to go to work. So it didn’t seem as if there would be much support for a boycott.

Which piece of information could probably only come from Rosa Parks’s first-person narration of the story?

Segregation on buses was an unfair practice that the bus company was following.
A boycott against the bus company would hurt the bus company financially.
Rosa Parks asked a few people if they were willing to boycott the buses.
The mayor and the city commissioner were unwilling to listen to Rosa Parks’s friends.

Answer 1

Rosa Parks asked a few people if they were willing to boycott the buses.

Justification: this is a specific personal action and memory (“I remember asking a few people...”) that only someone who experienced it firsthand could report.
