#7 - Must Be True

[reop6780]

I chose answer E while the correct answer is D.

I tried to find a ground for finding an answer based upon line 27-34.

I chose answer E because he chose the first approach as he believed it would be necessary in a short term as opposed to the second approach that is more theoretical.

I just assumed that the first approach may be more practical than the second approach (answer E).

Was I supposed to infer answer D based upon the passage that Marshall took a long time to repeal "separate but equal" ?

Could you pinpoint the evidence?

Thank you, always!

Hello, reop,

I can see where you're coming from, with lines 27-34. That is indeed where the seed of the correct answer choice is found. This question is a little more abstract than others, so it's understandable to have difficulty.

Answer choice E is not quite accurate. Marshall did seek practical goals, but he also sought his "theoretical" goal of overturning the entire separate but equal doctrine. He merely sought these goals in a certain order.

Answer choice D is better, because of the "felt it necessary" language in line 29. Whatever Marshall's goals, he could not advance them quickly, but had to slowly litigate through a variety of legal devices first.

Hope that helps,
Lucas Moreau
