Question

questions 1 through 3 refer to the following
\one - third of the population of the south is of the negro race. no enterprise seeking the material, civil, or moral welfare of the section can disregard this element of our population and reach the highest success.
\to those of the white race who look to the incoming of those of foreign birth and strange tongue and habits for the prosperity of the south, were i permitted i would repeat what i say to my own race, cast down your bucket where you are. cast it down among the eight millions of negroes whose habits you know, whose fidelity and love you have tested. cast down your bucket among these people who have, without strikes and labour wars, tilled your fields, cleared your forests, builded your railroads and cities, and brought forth treasures from the bowels of the earth, and helped make possible this magnificent representation of the progress of the south. casting down your bucket among my people, you will find that they will buy your surplus land, make blossom the waste places in your fields, and run your factories. while doing this, you can be sure in the future, as in the past, that you and your families will be surrounded by the most patient, faithful, law - abiding, and unresentful people that the world has seen. as we have proved our loyalty to you in the past, in nursing your children, watching by the sick - bed of your mothers and fathers, and often following them with tear - dimmed eyes to their graves, so in the future, in our humble way, we shall stand by you with a devotion that no foreigner can approach, ready to lay down our lives, if need be, in defence of yours, interlacing our industrial, commercial, civil, and religious life with yours in a way that shall make the interests of both races one. in all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.\

2 mark for review
which of the following describes a similarity between washington’s and pillow’s arguments in the excerpts?
a both fault that plantation owners exhibit hostility toward formerly enslaved laborers
b both argue that hiring immigrant workers would be cheaper than hiring native - born workers
c both believe that southern progress and prosperity depend on addressing a question of labor
d both assert that discouraging immigration is essential to creating new jobs for southern workers

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The excerpt from Washington’s address focuses on the importance of working with the Negro race for the South’s prosperity, not on plantation owners’ hostility to formerly enslaved laborers. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: There is no mention in the excerpt about hiring immigrant workers being cheaper than native - born workers. Thus, B is incorrect.
• Option C: Washington’s address emphasizes that the South’s progress depends on working with the Negro race (addressing the “question of labor”). The context of the questions (referring to the same excerpt and likely similar themes in Gilmore’s argument) suggests both believe southern progress and prosperity depend on addressing labor (race - related labor) questions. This matches.
• Option D: The excerpt does not discuss “discouraging immigration” as essential to creating new jobs for southern workers. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. Both believe that southern progress and prosperity depend on addressing a question of labor
