Question

why did allan bakke file a lawsuit?
○ his medical test application was incorrectly scored.
○ he was an advocate of affirmative action.
○ his test scores were lower than minority students.
○ he felt he was denied admission to school based on race.

Explanation:

Allan Bakke's lawsuit (Regents of the Univ. of Cal. v. Bakke) was about alleged reverse discrimination. He applied to a medical school that had an affirmative action program reserving seats for minorities. He felt his rejection was due to his race (he was white) as minority students with lower scores were admitted. The first option is incorrect (no scoring error), the second is wrong (he opposed the policy), the third is not the core issue (the key was the admission policy's racial consideration). So the correct reason is he felt denied admission based on race.

Answer:

D. He felt he was denied admission to school based on race.
