Explanation:

To solve this, we need to know the answer to Question 5 (not provided here). However, assuming Question 5 was about the unfulfilled freedom of African Americans a century after emancipation, option B ("But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.") directly states the lack of freedom, which would support a claim about ongoing oppression or lack of progress. If Question 5 was about that theme, B is the best choice. But without Question 5's context, we can analyze: A is about emancipation as hope, C about economic poverty, D about dramatizing the condition. If Question 5 was about lack of freedom, B is the strongest support.

To determine the answer, we analyze the options. If Question 5 relates to the continued lack of freedom for African Americans a century post - emancipation, Option B ("But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.") directly states this lack of freedom, making it the best support. Option A focuses on emancipation as a hopeful daybreak, Option C on economic poverty, and Option D on dramatizing the condition, none of which would support a claim about lack of freedom as strongly as B.

Answer:

B. "But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free."
