Question

#31 (use the excerpt to respond to this question)

\dear editor: when the bill against the teaching of evolution in public schools was passed, i could not see why more mothers were not thanking the lawmakers. they were protecting our children from one of the destructive forces which will destroy our civilization. i for one was grateful that they stood up for what was right. and grateful, too, that we have a christian man for governor who will defend the word of god against this so - called science.\—mrs. jesse spanks pope, tennessee

the excerpt above is most likely referencing

○ the scopes monkey trial
○ the harlem renaissance
○ prohibition

Explanation:

The excerpt discusses a bill against teaching evolution in public schools and defending the "Word of God" against "so - called science". The Scopes Monkey Trial was about the legality of teaching evolution in Tennessee schools. The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement, and Prohibition was about banning alcohol, so neither relates to evolution - religion conflict here.

Answer:

A. The Scopes Monkey Trial
