Read the paragraph from the article.
When Bridges was in kindergarten, she was one of many African-American students chosen to take a test. The test would determine whether or not she could attend a white school. It is said that the test would be very difficult so that students would have a hard time passing. That way, New Orleans schools might be able to stay segregated, or separated by race, for a while longer. Bridges lived a mere five blocks from an all-white school, but attended kindergarten several miles away, at an all-black segregated school.
Which inference is BEST supported by this paragraph?
A.The test was intended to determine a student's ability to thrive and succeed in a more challenging environment.
B.The test was designed to prevent black children from attending white schools while appearing objective.
The answer should be B. because they’re making the test difficult to prevent students from entering their white school, most likely out of racism. They use the test’s difficulty to make it seem like they appear objective, or not racist. That’s my take on the answer. Hope it helps!
