Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made. I wasn't just another athlete being hired by a ball club. We were playing for big stakes. This was the reason Branch Rickey's search had been so exhaustive. The search had spanned the globe and narrowed down to a few candidates, then finally to me. When it looked as though I might be the number-one choice, the investigation of my life, my habits, my reputation, and my character had become an intensified study. What is the author’s purpose for including this paragraph? to inform readers about Rickey’s thorough selection process to inform readers about Rickey’s distrust of Robinson to persuade readers that Robinson is the best athlete in the league to entertain readers with a story about Robinson and Rickey

To inform readers about Rickey’s thorough selection process.

Explanation:

Jackie Robinson's "I Never Had It Made" is an autobiographical account of how he became one of the first black sportsmen to ever play in the Major League. The book also contains accounts from his days when he first got the job and the obstacles he faced, be it racial discrimination from all sides including his teammates.

As given in the excerpt, Robinson stated that "Branch Rickey's search had been so exhaustive". It had "spanned the globe", narrowing down candidates till his turn came. He also remembered he felt like "the investigation of my life, my habits, my reputation, and my character had become an intensified study". This shows how thorough the selection process was done by team Rickey for their team's players.  

i think the answer is d)solicitude sorry if the answer is wrong.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
