which of the following best represents the central or main idea of the excerpt?

barbara johns was meant to stand up and fight injustice.

martin luther king, jr. was a strong influencer.

barbara johns admired her uncle vernon’s speeches.

montgomery, alabama was central to the civil rights movemen

Explanation:

To determine the main idea, we analyze each option. The question is about an excerpt (likely related to civil rights, focusing on Barbara Johns). Option A focuses on Barbara Johns fighting injustice, which aligns with her role in civil rights. Option B is about MLK, a secondary figure here. Option C is a minor detail (admiring uncle’s speeches). Option D is about Montgomery, not the main focus on Barbara. So A best captures the central idea about Barbara Johns’ purpose.

Answer:

A. Barbara Johns was meant to stand up and fight injustice.
