Question

what statement from source 1 could be used as evidence to support the author’s idea that white supremac
y was a problem in south africa?
a verwoerd wanted to change the image of apartheid because \international opinion no longer
tolerated old - style white supremacy.\
b his solution was \to offer blacks the apparent chance to develop as they wanted, separately
from the whites in their homeland.\
c verwoerd argued that the policy of separate development is designed for the happiness,
security and stability provided by their home language.
d verwoerd claims \that the policy was a total success with the white population rewarded
verwoerd and his national party with their votes.\

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The text mentions Verwoerd wanted to change the image of Apartheid because international opinion no longer tolerated old - style White supremacy. This aligns with the context of the passage which talks about Verwoerd's attempts to rebrand Apartheid.
• Option B: The passage states that his solution (the policy of separate development) was not to offer Blacks the chance to develop as they wanted (supremacy from Whites in their homeland) but was a way to maintain White control. So this option misrepresents his solution.
• Option C: The passage says that his critics (not Verwoerd himself) argued that the policy of separate development was not for the happiness, security and well - being of the Blacks but for White supremacy. So this option misattributes the argument.
• Option D: The passage says the policy was a total success with the White population according to Verwoerd and his National Party (with their votes), but this is his own claim and not the main point about changing the image of Apartheid due to international opinion.

Answer:

A. Verwoerd wanted to change the image of Apartheid because "international opinion no longer tolerated old - style White supremacy"
