Question 10 • World History

Which statement best describes Nelson Mandela?

Answer
A
He was the president of South Africa in 1990 and pushed reforms that ended apartheid.
B
He was a religious leader who called for international sanctions against South Africa.
C
He was sent to prison on various charges for protesting South Africa’s policies of apartheid.
D
He was the first Black Anglican archbishop of Cape Town and a Nobel Peace Prize honoree.

Explanation

Nelson Mandela opposed apartheid, South Africa’s system of racial segregation, and was imprisoned for his anti-apartheid activities. He was not president in 1990; he became South Africa’s president in 1994. The description of a first Black Anglican archbishop refers to Desmond Tutu, not Mandela.
