Question

the government agreed to make sure laws banning segregation in interstate transport facilities were followed. based on the article, which best replaces the question mark in the diagram above? a. the freedom riders were volunteers who were brought together by a civil rights group. b. images of freedom riders being taken away appeared in newspapers and on the news. c. white freedom riders sat next to african - american freedom riders on an interstate bus. d. a case called boynton vs. virginia was brought before the u.s. supreme court.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the relationship between the question mark and the result (government enforcing anti - segregation laws in interstate transport). Option B shows the media coverage of Freedom Riders' arrests, which would put pressure on the government to act. Option A is about who the Freedom Riders were, not the cause of government action. Option C is about their seating, not the trigger for government enforcement. Option D is a court case, but the result here is government action on enforcement, not the court case itself. The media coverage (Option B) would likely lead to public outcry and government response.

Answer:

B. Images of Freedom Riders being taken away appeared in newspapers and on the news.
