Answer 1

The correct answer is C) The Civil Rights movement frequently used direct actions, while the women's rights movement frequently used symbolic protests.

Both the Civil Rights movement and the women's rights movement organized protests to raise public awareness about discrimination against minorities and women. The tactics of the Civil Rights movement differed from those of the women's rights movement in that the Civil Rights movement frequently used direct actions, while the women's rights movement frequently used symbolic protests.

The women's rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s demanded more participation of women in politics and the workplace. However, the civil rights movement of that time was a stronger movement in which national organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was supported by many people and organized marches and demonstrations that gained national attention.
