read the excerpt about world war i and answer the question below.

which consequence resulted from this experience?
○ african americans refused to enlist for military service.
○ african americans demanded to serve in segregated units.
○ african americans were more committed to ending racial injustice.
○ african americans were guaranteed expanded educational benefits.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: The excerpt says black troops were eager to fight, so "refused to enlist" is incorrect.
• Analyze Option 2: The excerpt doesn't mention segregated units demand; it's about their service and French gratitude, so this is wrong.
• Analyze Option 3: Their service in WWI, even in support, and positive reception in France likely strengthened their resolve to end racial injustice (like the Great Migration and civil rights push later), so this fits.
• Analyze Option 4: The excerpt has no info about educational benefits, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. African Americans were more committed to ending racial injustice.
