Explanation:

We need to identify which two sentences show that African - Americans in the South did not have the same opportunities as white people. Sentence A only says they traveled to the courthouse, which doesn't show unequal opportunities. Sentence B shows she was told she would be back, indicating discrimination in voting rights. Sentence C shows she knew the Constitution gave her the right to vote but faced barriers, indicating unequal opportunities. Sentence D shows Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation, which is a form of unequal opportunity. Sentence E just mentions traveling to the courthouse in the morning, no indication of unequal opportunities.

Answer:

B. She told the courthouse clerk that she would be back.
D. Jim Crow laws in the South enforced racial segregation.
