Question

According to the passage, civil rights activists maintain that one disadvantage under which minority-owned businesses have traditionally had to labor is that they have

• A. Been especially vulnerable to governmental mismanagement of the economy
• B. Been denied bank loans at rates comparable to those afforded larger competitors
• C. Not had sufficient opportunity to secure business created by large corporations
• D. Not been able to advertise in those media that reach large numbers of potential customers

Answer 1

The correct option is D Not been able to advertise in those media that reach large numbers of potential customers

The second sentence of the first paragraph very clearly states that “Civil rights activists have long argued that one of the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups have difficulty establishing themselves in business is that they lack access to the sizable orders and subcontracts that are generated by large companies.” Thus, it is evident that answer option (D) is the correct answer choice.
