Answer:

A- Corn prices have more than doubled since 2005 because of increased demand, according to financial experts.

Explanation:

A fact should be cited where it is picked from for its validation. And from all 4 of the statements, the <em>1st statement</em> is asserting strongly that demand was increased in 2005 so we know it's the fact. Moreover, another detail to prove that it's a fact is that this statement wasn't of the author himself he picked it from other financial experts.

May 17
The Supreme Court rules on the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kans., unanimously agreeing that segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. The ruling paves the way for large-scale desegregation. The decision overturns the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling that sanctioned "separate but equal" segregation of the races, ruling that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." It is a victory for NAACP attorney Thurgood Marshall, who will later return to the Supreme Court as the nation's first black justice.
