From the Supreme Court case Plessy V. Ferguson, 1896: It is true that the question of the proportion of colored blood necessary

to constitute a colored person, as distinguished from a white person, is one upon which there is a difference of opinion in the different states; some holding that any visible admixture of black blood stamps the person as belonging to the colored race (State v. Chavers, 5 Jones [N. C.] 1); others, that it depends upon the preponderance of blood ( Gray v. State, 4 Ohio, 354; Monroe v. Collins, 17 Ohio St. 665); and still others, that the predominance of white blood must only be in the proportion of three-fourths (People v. Dean, 14 Mich. 406; Jones v. Com., 80 Va. 544). But these are questions to be determined under the laws of each state, and are not properly put in issue in this case. Under the allegations of his petition, it may undoubtedly become a question of importance whether, under the laws of Louisiana, the petitioner belongs to the white or colored race. What point is made in this document regarding perception of a person's race?
A) It is best to define race in a very stringent way, to avoid confusion.

B) Nobody is in agreement about what race means, but everyone thinks it is important.

C) There is a general consensus that if a person appears black, he is black, and if he appears white, he is white.

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

The excerpt specifically says that what defines a person as being black "is a difference of opinion in the different states." In NC "any visible admixture of black blood" defines a person as a black person. In OH, "it depends upon the preponderance of blood. In Michigan and Virginia, "white blood must only be in the proportion of three-fourths".  This shows that there is not a best way to define race. Also, B is not correct because Michigan and Virginia use the same definition so they are in agreement at least. Option C is not correct because some states do not agree with this.

Based on excerpt , what is most likely true about ancient greek marriage rituals
Arada [10]

We can infer that based on the excerpt , the most likely truth about ancient Greek marriage rituals is: The groom had to ask the bride’s parents for permission to marry her.

<h3>What is marriage ritual?</h3>

Marriage ritual actually refers to the way or pattern that marriages are conducted. They are seen as an order of marriage set up by men.

Below is the excerpt that completes the question:

Read the excerpt from "Perseus."

He waited beside her until the great snake came for its prey; then he cut its head off just as he had the Gorgon's. The headless body dropped back into the water; Perseus took Andromeda to her parents and asked for her hand, which they gladly gave him.

We see here that the answer is "The groom had to ask the bride’s parents for permission to marry her."
