Question 7 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY
Read the excerpt from Brown v. Board of Education . Because these are class actions, because of the wide applicability of this decision, and because of the great variety of local conditions, the formulation of decrees in these cases presents problems of considerable complexity. Why does the Supreme Court describe these considerations?
Answer
A
to compare the quality of education delivered throughout the years of segregation
B
to emphasize the challenges inherent in determining a ruling for a varied nation
C
to illustrate the different interpretations of the law throughout the nation
D
to explain the historical context in which segregation was endorsed
Explanation
The Court points to the cases’ broad impact and the variety of local conditions to explain why deciding how to carry out the ruling is complicated. These details emphasize the challenge of applying a decision across a nation with varied circumstances. Choice B best captures that idea; the excerpt is not comparing school quality or explaining the history of segregation.
