Question

question 10 of 10
what was an argument made by supporters of vocational training in african american colleges and universities?
a. it would allow students to learn about other cultures.

b. it would end racial segregation in schools.

c. it would help students fit into white society.

d. it would increase opportunities for women.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Vocational training focuses on job - related skills, not cultural learning. So this is incorrect.
• Option B: Vocational training in African American colleges doesn't directly end racial segregation in schools. Racial segregation is a broader social - institutional issue, and vocational training alone can't solve it. So this is incorrect.
• Option C: Supporters of vocational training in African American colleges (like Booker T. Washington's view) argued that vocational skills would help African American students gain economic independence and fit into the broader (white - dominated) society by being productive and self - sufficient. This matches the idea of vocational training's supporters.
• Option D: Vocational training in the context of African American colleges was not mainly about increasing opportunities for women. It was more about the economic and social integration of African Americans as a group. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. It would help students fit into white society.
