Question

which question is answered in paragraph 3 of the article? a why did king and his followers organize protests? b what did the government do when king and his followers organized protests? c what law did king and his followers want the government to change? d why did king and his followers want to be treated fairly?

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A asks about the reason for organizing protests. Usually, the "why" for organizing would relate to the cause or motivation, but we need to check paragraph 3 (not provided here, but based on typical content about King (likely MLK) and protests): If paragraph 3 focuses on the government's response (like how they reacted, e.g., passing laws, arresting, etc.), then A is not it.
• Option B asks about the government's actions during protests. This is about what the government did (e.g., enforce laws, change policies, respond to demonstrations). If paragraph 3 details the government's response (e.g., the Civil Rights Act passage, police actions, etc.), this fits.
• Option C asks about the specific law to change. If the paragraph is about actions, not the law target, C is out.
• Option D asks why they wanted fair treatment. This is about their motivation for equality, which is more about their beliefs/history, not what's in a paragraph about protests and government response.

Assuming paragraph 3 discusses the government's response to the protests (e.g., policy changes, enforcement), the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B. What did the government do when King and his followers organized protests?
