Question

the text says that the books jacqueline found about african americans were outdated, or very old-fashioned. which piece of evidence best supports this statement?
a. the books were about people with brown skin.
b. the books were written in the 1970s.
c. the books were mainly about slavery.
d. the books were by mothers and grandmothers.

Explanation:

A publication date in the 1970s directly demonstrates the books are outdated/old-fashioned, as it shows they were created decades ago, making this the strongest supporting evidence. The other options do not directly indicate the books are out of date: describing the subject's skin tone, focusing on slavery, or the authors' family roles do not relate to the age or timeliness of the content.

Answer:

B. The books were written in the 1970s.
