The correct answer is D.

Sylvia Mendez is an American writer and civil rights activist of Mexican-Puerto Rican heritage.

At the age of eight, she played an important role in the Mendez v. Westminster case which was a landmark desegregation case of 1946.

When she was growing up in California, Hispanics were not allowed to attend Whites only schools. Mendez was sent to a so called Mexican school, a decision her parents opposed. They filed a law suit in the local federal court. Sylvia Mendez was asked to prove she could speak and understand the English language.

Their case was a success and it paved way to the end of racial segregation of schools in the United States.

When asked about personal qualities they desire for their children, higher-ses parents are more likely to emphasize ________?

ololo11 [35]

When asked about personal qualities they desire for their children, higher-ses parents are more likely to emphasize <u>"psychological traits or characteristics".</u>

Traits and characteristics are a similar thing. A trait is a distinctive trademark, highlight or quality. In psychological terms, we for the most part consider identity attributes and social qualities that characterize a person. We as a whole have traits. Psychologists frequently allude to personality traits or characteristics. The one of a kind mix of identity traits we each have makes us people. In any case, certain attributes have moved toward becoming related with psychological issues.
