Hi!
Your answer is B.
It is <u><em>not</em></u> A because this doesn't really make sense. It's not the best answer.
It <u><em>is</em></u> B because, in sentences, the words around it will likely give the information you need to infer what the word means.
(For example, if I were to say "<em>She was </em><u><em>continuously</em></u><em> singing, for yesterday she sang for 4 straight hours, and it was extremely annoying</em>", pretend you do not know what "continuously" means. By using the words around it, such as "4 straight hours" you can predict that it means "never stopping".)
It is <u><em>not</em></u> C because not every single sentence contains a synonym or antonym.
(See the sentence above. The antonym of "continuously" would be 'never' or 'sometimes' or possibly 'discontinous'. There isn't always an antonym or synonym there, is there?)
It is <u><em>not</em></u> D because not every single word is defined in a passage.
(When you open an average book, is there just an entire page(s) dedicated to every single definition of a word? Most often, no, there is not.)
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The state laws argued for "separate but equal schooling". It was found that the separate schools (for Blacks and Whites) were very far from equal, meaning that some of the US Citizens were denied the same liberties others got solely for their skin color.
