question 8 of 10
what or who was on trial in the monkey trial?

a. a textbook that explained evolution

b. john scopes for teaching evolution

c. clarence darrow for believing in communism

d. a monkey that had escaped from the zoo

Explanation:

The "Monkey trial" (Scopes Trial) was about John Scopes being tried for violating a Tennessee law by teaching evolution in a public school. Option A is incorrect as it was not a textbook on trial. Option C is wrong as Clarence Darrow was the defense attorney, not on trial for communism. Option D is irrelevant as no monkey was on trial.

Answer:

B. John Scopes for teaching evolution
