Question

The passage suggests that many African American people responded to their experiences in the armed forces in which of the following ways?

• A. They maintained as civilians their enthusiastic allegiance to the armed forces.
• B. They questioned United States involvement in the First World War.
• C. They joined political organizations to protest the segregation of African American troops and the indignities they suffered in the military.

• E. They repudiated Garvey's message of pride and unity.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

They became aware of the gap between their expectations and the realities of American culture.

The third sentence from the second para suggests that having experienced indignities in the armed forces, anthropologist Anthony Wallace argued that revitalization was a result of the awareness of the gap between expectations and realities of American culture. Hence, D is correct.

The passage does not support any of the ideas suggested by the other choices.
