Reading the passage
We can answer how leaders responded to unresolved citizenship: some insisted on their U.S. citizenship rights, while others called for emigration and a homeland elsewhere. The account gives those contrasting positions directly. It supplies much less detail about specific countries, languages, overseas territories or constitutional wording.
Working the answers
- A
No particular African nations researched by these historians are identified. Referring to a history beginning in Africa does not supply that list.
- B
No ancestral African languages are named. The reference to a diaspora without an official language does not tell us which languages its ancestors spoke.
- C
The author discusses expanding U.S. influence and colonial territory generally, but does not name the territories sought. Outside historical knowledge cannot fill an information question about what this account provides.
- D
Unresolved citizenship does not itself establish ambiguities in the amendment's text. The author does not examine its wording or identify textual ambiguities that caused the conflict.
- ECorrect
The second paragraph explicitly gives the two responses: asserting the right to U.S. citizenship and advocating emigration to find another homeland. We can answer this question using information actually supplied.
