The correct answer is B. The Supreme Court decided that authorities had unfairly singled him out because of his race.

Explanation:

Lee Yick was a Chinese immigrant who owned a laundry facility in a wooden building in California. During this time (end of the 19th century) there was a law that established it was not legal to own this type of business in a wooden building without a special permit. However, this permit was not approved for Chinese migrants who owned almost all laundry facilities.

Due to this, Lee Yick was fined for not owning a permit and he decided to sue. This case was analyzed by the U.S. Supreme Court and it was decided Lee Yick was fined by the authorities just due to his race (Option B) as most laundry facilities were placed in wooden buildings with no permit and the authorities did nothing about it.

Where did the slide guitar come from
Mazyrski [523]

Slide guitar is a form of technique linked with blues music. It was during the 20th century that this technique developed among blues musicians in the American South. There are also links of its origin to the diddley-bow from Africa. However, it was also almost the same time when the Hawaiian (steel) guitar—a style that emerged in the late 19th century but executed a similar slide technique—was gaining popularity on the mainland through Hawaiin concert tours. In conclusion, it is likely that both blues music and Hawaiian guitar paved their own way to become influential in the course of their early development.
