Question

comparing arguments
washington: du bois:
no enterprise seeking the material, civil, or moral welfare of this section can disregard this element of our population and reach the highest success. . . . it is a recognition that will do more to cement the friendship of the two races than any occurrence since the dawn of our freedom.
-up from slavery, booker t. washington
which statement best compares the two arguments?
both washington and du bois claim that the competitive nature of business and property ownership is not inclusive of all races.
washington declares the need for a working class, but du bois argues that artisans are as valuable as property owners.
both washington and du bois cite industry and entrepreneurship as the most logical paths to justice and equality.
washington emphasizes the importance of positive race relations, while du bois emphasizes the importance of voting rights.

Explanation:

First, analyze Washington's argument: he states that including Black people (the "element of our population") in enterprises for material/civil/moral welfare will build cross-racial friendship and lead to success. Now evaluate each option:

1. The first option is incorrect: Washington does not claim business/property ownership is racially exclusive; he argues including Black people in such enterprises is key.
2. The second option is incorrect: Washington's quote does not focus on a working class vs. artisans/property owners; this is not addressed.
3. The third option is correct: Washington explicitly ties participation in enterprises (industry/entrepreneurship) to welfare, success, and cross-racial harmony (a path to justice/equality), and this aligns with the core of his argument, while the option frames both figures citing this path (consistent with Du Bois' complementary focus on economic advancement alongside civil rights, and the option is the only one matching Washington's stated point).
4. The fourth option is incorrect: Washington's quote emphasizes including Black people in enterprises to build race relations, but the option's focus on Du Bois' voting rights is not referenced in the given text, so this comparison is unsupported by the provided material.

Answer:

Both Washington and Du Bois cite industry and entrepreneurship as the most logical paths to justice and equality.
