Question

read the quotation from dr oswald p. bronson recalling his childhood under jim crow.
even on our way to school some days, men would come by and throw oranges at us, sometimes rock perhaps. we also were very much aware of police brutality in that city at that time. we were conscious of the ku klux klan riding around the town to keep everybody in check.
in this quotation, dr. bronson is describing
○ intimidation, scare tactics, and violence perpetrated by both the police and the ku klux klan against african american citizens.
○ how the police protected african american citizens from intimidation, scare tactics, and violence perpetrated by the ku klux klan.
○ conflicts between the police and the ku klux klan that caused violence in the city he lived in
○ how residents protected each other from the ku klux klan and the police in the city he lived in.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: The quotation mentions men throwing objects (intimidation/violence), police brutality, and KKK riding to "keep everybody in check" (intimidation/scare tactics) against African Americans (implied by Jim Crow context).
2. Analyze the second option: The quote says "police brutality", not protection, so this is incorrect.
3. Analyze the third option: The quote does not describe conflicts between police and KKK, but their actions against citizens, so incorrect.
4. Analyze the fourth option: The quote does not mention residents protecting each other, so incorrect.

Answer:

A. intimidation, scare tactics, and violence perpetrated by both the police and the Ku Klux Klan against African American citizens.
