Question

In his address to the Atlanta Exposition, Washington tells an anecdote of a ship that has run out of fresh water and unknowingly drifted into the Amazon delta; they hail another ship for help to replenish their water supply and are told to "cast down their buckets" for fresh water. Washington uses this story as an analogy to advise African Americans to cast down their own buckets. What best matches his advice?

The answer is: Apply hard work and friendly feeling to relationships with southern whites.

Explanation:

In 1895, Booker T. Washington gave a speech that would open the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia.  In his speech, Washington suggested that African Americans should not agitate for political and social equality, but should instead work hard, earn respect and acquire vocational training in order to participate in the economic development of the South. By doing so, eventually, he stated, African Americans would gain the respect of white society and be granted the rights of full citizenship.
