  • Q4

  • Q6
    Read these sentences from the text: "To separate [children in grade schools and high schools] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone. [... T]his finding is amply supported by modern authority." Why might Chief Justice Earl Warren have pointed out that "this finding" about how separation creates a feeling of inferiority is supported by modern authority?
    to help convince readers and listeners that the finding is true
    to suggest that he disagrees with the finding and the modern authority that supports it
    to emphasize the importance of supporting one's findings with evidence
    to imply that modern authorities are very trustworthy
