Question 18

The Cotton Club during the Harlem Renaissance was a venue where white patrons could experience new forms of Black music (like jazz) that were unique. Option A is wrong as Blacks were not accepted equally. Options B and C are incorrect as the club was known for music, not political sketches or free political expression with liquor (though liquor was available, the main draw was music). So D is correct.

Claude McKay was a key Harlem Renaissance figure known for his poetry and literature that encouraged resistance to discrimination. Option B is incorrect (he wasn't pro - Communist in a way that urged return to Africa). Option C is wrong (he wasn't known for religious/legal writings). Option D is incorrect (he wasn't a mayor). So A is correct.

Langston Hughes is widely regarded as the best - known poet of the Harlem Renaissance. Claude McKay was important but not the most well - known poet. Jean Toomer was known for other literary works, and Marcus Garvey was a political leader, not a poet. So B is correct.

Answer:

D. Whites were exposed to new forms of black music unavailable anywhere else.
