Read the excerpt from "W.E.B. Du Bois: Social Justice Leader."

The Niagara Movement was followed by the creation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). This organization, born partly out of the Springfield (Ill.) Race Riots of 1908, continues today. Du Bois joined the founders, who made him the editor of a monthly magazine, The Crisis. The magazine protested inequality and the mistreatment of African Americans. Dubois remained editor of The Crisis until 1934, when he began to differ from the NAACP on core beliefs.
Which question would best help the reader understand Du Bois's separation from the NAACP?

A. How would Du Bois feel about the current NAACP?
B. How were Du Bois's views different from those of the NAACP?
C. What role did Du Bois play in founding the NAACP? *****
D. What articles did Du Bois work on for the NAACP's magazine?

**** is my answer did i get it right?

is it A?

I disagree.

Focus on the last sentence of the passage. Don't you have some questions after reading it?

No, the answer is not C. The question "What role did Du Bois play in founding the NAACP?" would not help the reader understand Du Bois's separation from the NAACP. The correct answer is B. The question "How were Du Bois's views different from those of the NAACP?" would provide insight into the reasons for Du Bois's separation from the organization.

Yes, your answer is correct. The question that would best help the reader understand Du Bois's separation from the NAACP is: "How were Du Bois's views different from those of the NAACP?" This question focuses specifically on the reasons for their separation and explores the contrasting beliefs between Du Bois and the organization.
