Select the correct answer.
How does the author achieve his or her purpose?
The Montgomery Bus Boycott
The Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956
was one of the most significant events of the
Civil Rights Movement in the United States.
Though it might have seemed like a fruitless
endeavor to some when it began on December
1, 1955, the boycott was able to break
segregation laws throughout Alabama
The true spark of the boycott came
unintentionally from Rosa Parks, now known as
"the mother of the Civil Rights Movement." As
stipulated by a Montgomery city ordinance,
African American bus riders were required to sit
in the back of the bus. In addition, they were
required to give up their seats to white riders if
the "white seats" were taken. Ms. Parks, an
African
American seamstress born in 1913,
obeyed the law and sat in the back of the bus.
However, when a white man told her to give up
her seat, she refused. The mere refusal was
enough to get her arrested.
It is popular belief that Parks' civil
disobedience was merely the result of
O A. by using well-known names of civil rights leaders and the NAACP to show the
magnitude of the boycott's influence
ов.
by using references to popular belief to support assumptions about Ms. Parks
OC. by using descriptive details and dates to recall the events after the boycott
OD. by using a logical fallacy to distract from the weak argument against the
boycott
