Question

during world war i, white and black soldiers were not allowed to fight, sleep, or eat together. however, more than 200,000 african americans served in wwi because
a the u.s. government paid black soldiers more money than it paid white soldiers.
b they knew they would need military experience to buy houses after the war
c the u.s. government had asked them to train white soldiers for a top secret mission
d they thought serving their country would make the u.s. give black people equal rights.

Explanation:

Para los afroamericanos que sirvieron en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la opción D es correcta. Durante ese período, muchos afroamericanos creían que servir a su país en la guerra ayudaría a ganar derechos iguales, ya que la participación en la defensa nacional podía demostrar su valía y merecimiento de derechos civiles. Las otras opciones son incorrectas: A es falso (no se pagaba más a soldados negros); B no tiene relación con la razón principal de su servicio; C no es un factor clave para su participación.

Answer:

D. they thought serving their country would make the U.S. give black people equal rights
