Question

in the interview \on the front lines with thurgood marshall,\ jack greenberg says that \the brown case was like an ice breaker going through the frozen sea of racism.\ which text evidence from the interview best supports this inference? select the two correct answers. - \in 1935, there was a maryland state case involving the admission of a black student to the university of maryland law school that marshall won.\ - \in the brown case, the momentum of those earlier cases, or the implication of those cases, was made explicit; separate never could be equal.\ - \the work of the ldf shows that law could accomplish a great deal.\ - \it broke up the racist system that was essentially congealed into the american polity.\

Explanation:

The core inference compares the Brown case to an icebreaker breaking through a "frozen sea of racism," meaning the case broke through entrenched, systemic racism.

1. The option stating "In the Brown case, the momentum of those earlier cases, or the implication of those cases, was made explicit; separate never could be equal." shows the case clarified and advanced progress against racist segregation, aligning with the icebreaker metaphor.
2. The option stating "It broke up the racist system that was essentially congealed into the American polity." directly references breaking through a "congealed" (frozen-like) racist system, mirroring the icebreaker/frozen sea comparison.

The other options either reference an earlier unrelated case or a general statement about the LDF, not the specific role of Brown as a breakthrough against systemic racism.

Answer:

• "In the Brown case, the momentum of those earlier cases, or the implication of those cases, was made explicit; separate never could be equal."
• "It broke up the racist system that was essentially congealed into the American polity."
