Answer:
a) Marian encounters segregation, even when she is the star performer.
Explanation:
Russell Freedman's non-fictional book "The Voice that Challenged a Nation" is about a famous black singer Marian Anderson. Her life as a singer, even after she's become famous, and the racial segregation that she observed and also personally encountered, ultimately led her to be one of the prominent voices of racism in America.
In the given excerpt from the book, the narrator recounts one event where Marian was invited to perform in Savannah, Georgia. There, she saw how the whites and the blacks were seated in different sections of the <em>"Municipal Auditorium."</em> She saw the <em>"whites sitting in the boxes and dress circle, blacks in segregated orchestra or gallery seats,"</em> which is a massive indication of how the racial segregation still operate despite their star performer who is black herself. Thus, <u>the passage shows how Marian encounters discrimination even when she is the star performer.</u>
