Answer:
You know why B is the correct answer, though, right?
Explanation:
I interpret it as pertaining to Ivy League schools and who they accept into their colleges. I don't know if you've ever heard about the 'scandal' with Harvard and the like, but they were found to be discriminant against Asians coming to their schools. African-Americans/blacks also have a tough time in higher education. So, there is definitely a high sense of racial inequality when it comes to those 'big wig' schools. As well as racial inequality possessing the potential to 'strike' at any time on college campuses in general. And we could even take this to the high school level. So, in a nutshell, I hope this provides you more context as to why B is the correct answer. There are also economic disparities in college student populations; not everybody has the funds or ability to take out student loans in order to finish their college degrees. It can be pretty costly. So, that is what is meant by that answer.
John Henry is a symbol of physical strength and endurance, of exploited labor, of the dignity of a human being against the degradations of the machine age, and of racial pride and solidarity.
