Question

It can be inferred that Troy played baseball _________.

• A. before the outbreak of World War I
• B. long before the period in which Selkirk played right field for the Yankees
• C. before Jackie Robinson was born
• D. before the major leagues were racially integrated
• E. until his near brush with death

Answer 1

The correct option is D before the major leagues were racially integrated

Option D is the correct answer. It is stated in the text that Troy had to informed that the games had included people from different races. This suggests that he was not aware of this, leading us to believe that he indeed played baseball before the major leagues were racially integrated. The other options do not convey the same sentiment reflected in the option mentioned earlier. Therefore, options A,B,C and E are incorrect.
