Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the correct answer to Question 5 (likely about preserving African - American heritage through literature/cultural work during the Harlem Renaissance) and then find the passage that supports it:

Analyze each option:

• Option A: Talks about racial violence during the Harlem Renaissance. This has no relation to heritage preservation, so it's not relevant.
• Option B: Mentions preserving heritage by writing about Africa, with an example of Countee Cullen using African themes in poetry. If Question 5 was about preserving heritage through literary works with African themes, this passage strongly supports it.
• Option C: Focuses on segregation and denial of rights, not heritage preservation.
• Option D: Discusses Zora Neale Hurston collecting folklore as a college student. While related to cultural work, it's more about collecting rather than the broader theme of preserving heritage through writing about Africa (as in Option B, which is more direct if Question 5 was about that aspect).

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option in the context of supporting the answer to Question 5 (presumably about preserving African - American heritage during the Harlem Renaissance). Option A is about racial violence, Option C is about segregation, and Option D is about folklore collection. Option B directly relates to preserving heritage by writing about Africa with a literary example, making it the strongest support.

Answer:

B. "Another important aspect of preserving heritage was writing about Africa. For example, Countee Cullen explored African themes in some of his finest poetry."
