Question

1. which of the following was not a way that african americans contributed to the war effort during world war ii?

a. more than two million signed up for the draft.
b. the tuskegee airmen flew bombing missions in europe.
c. men and women on the home front worked in civil service jobs and in defense plants.
d. african americans fought on the side of the germans.

Explanation:

During World War II, the United States was at war with Germany (the Axis powers). African Americans, as American citizens, contributed to the US war effort. Option a: Many African Americans signed up for the draft (actual numbers - around a million, but the option's claim of "more than two million" is incorrect in quantity, but the act of signing for draft was a contribution). Option b: The Tuskegee Airmen were African American pilots who flew bombing missions in Europe for the US. Option c: African American men and women worked in civil service and defense plants on the home front, contributing to the war effort. Option d: African Americans fought for the US, not the Germans (who were the enemy of the US in WWII). So option d was not a way they contributed.

Answer:

d. African Americans fought on the side of the Germans.
