Hi TootyFrooty,

Explanations to the answer choices are below:

Answer choice (A): According to the second paragraph, Freedom Rides were “a second form of sit-ins.” This makes them inspired from another event and therefore not spontaneous.

Answer choice (B): According to the third paragraph, the Freedom Rides were used to challenge whites-only seats on interstate buses. Additionally, the government protected the protestors, working alongside them — not against — to ensure they could successfully demonstrate.

Answer choice (C): The passage states that the Freedom Rides were a turning point for the civil rights movement, elevating the movement. This is not language that implies Freedom Rides were less important than original sit-in demonstrations.

Answer choice (D): As stated in the explanation for answer choice (A), the Freedom Rides were “a second form of sit-ins.” Both sit-in demonstrations served the same purpose in different venues.

Answer choice (E): Again, paragraph two is our best friend, stating the Freedom Rides were “a second form of sit-ins.” This matches this explanation and is the correct answer choice.

I hope this helps!
