The correct answer is A.Let’s see, where was that ‘Coloreds Only’ bathroom downtown?
Explanation:
The passages belong to The Watsons Go To Birmingham, a novel written by Christopher Paul Curtis, an American children's book writer. It narrates the events that occur after a family decides to travel to Birmingham to spend the summer and perhaps the following school year due to Byron's problems, who is the oldest son.
The correct answer is letter A, since the story is set in Alabama, the word <em>coloreds</em> shows the political climate as one that segregates and discriminates against people who were different.
