Brief Explanations

In the context, the students asked to be served, and the servers "refused" which led to the students waiting. "Refused" means not complying with a request. Option A "would not do something" aligns with this as the servers would not serve (do something - serving) the students. Option B (convince) is about persuasion, not relevant. Option C (embarrassed) is an emotion not indicated. Option D (do differently) is not about refusal.

Brief Explanations

The first part "marched peacefully" and the second part "white police officers attacked them anyway" show a contrast. "But" is a conjunction used for contrast. "Third" is an ordinal number (not relevant here). "Too" means also (not for contrast). "Like" is for similarity or example (not for contrast).

Brief Explanations

(Assuming text context - photographers and TV cameramen likely recorded the events. Their recordings could expose the injustice of the attacks on peaceful protesters. This exposure could gain public sympathy and put pressure on authorities to address the civil - rights issues. For example, if the text mentions that their footage was shown on TV and made people aware of the brutality, it helped Black people in the protest as it brought attention to their cause.)

Answer:

A. would not do something
