Answer:
Psychologists of that day attributed poor test scores to Option B: innate mental inferiority.
Explanation:
In the early twentieth century, there were still many erroneous beliefs about intelligence and there was little consideration of how Western derived intelligence tests had a lot of inherent bias and were not objective measures of intelligence across all human societies. This was tied to eugenics and the idea that persisted from the end of the 19th century up until WWII that racial groups could be improved genetically with a conscious selection of particular traits and attributes. For example, The Immigration Restriction League was founded by three Harvard graduates in 1894 and it was closely associated with ideas of eugenics. The League wanted to prevent any dilution of what they saw as the superior upper-middle-class White stock that they represented themselves. They lobbied for stricter immigration laws under this logic.

One interesting thing about America’s 19th-century Pacific expansion is that it happened during, and even before, its more famous western settlement. American missionaries and sugar planters were in Hawaii in the 1820s, a generation before the California Gold Rush or Mormon Trek to Utah. The reason is that, while oceans can be deadly in strong winds, water is normally easier to traverse than land — even the long and torturous pre-Panama Canal sea route around Cape Horn from the East Coast to the Pacific. By 1890, when the Census Bureau declared the western frontier closed, the U.S. had already laid claim to territory in the Pacific. By 1902, America controlled Hawaii, Alaska, the Philippines, Guam, Midway Island, part of Samoa and several smaller islands in the Pacific (e.g. Palmyra Atoll and Wake, Jarvis, Howland & Baker Islands). Since its revolution and initiation of the Old China Trade routes starting in 1783, the U.S. coveted trading with Asians the way it had traditionally with Europeans. In the 1850s, Commodore Matthew Perry sailed the U.S. Navy to China and Japan to increase trade. By the turn of the 20th century, America was digging a canal shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific and was in combat defending its interests in Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. In this chapter, we’ll cover why and how America stepped out onto this world stage
