Question

1. the progressive partys platform included support for black americans, but when roosevelt invited booker t. washington to visit the white house which of the following happened?

many people in the us objected and a scandal ensued.
some newspapers decided that washington would make a better president.
the secret service didnt recognize washington and asked him to leave.
roosevelt insulted washington without meaning to.

Explanation:

In the context of the Progressive Party and racial attitudes in the US at the time, inviting Booker T. Washington (a prominent Black leader) to the White House was controversial. Many people, especially those with racist or conservative views, objected, leading to a scandal. The other options are inconsistent with historical facts: newspapers wouldn't claim Washington should be president, the secret service wouldn't ask him to leave without recognition in this context, and Roosevelt didn't insult him unintentionally in this situation.

Answer:

A. Many people in the US objected and a scandal ensued.
