"Hoping to participate in the traditional American
ethos of individual success, many African
American people entered the armed forces with
enthusiasm, only to find themselves segregated
from white troops and subjected to numerous
indignities. They returned to a United States that
was as segregated as it had been before the war.
Considering similar experiences, anthropologist
Anthony F. C. Wallace has argued that when a
perceptible gap arises between a culture's
expectations and the reality of that culture, the
resulting tension can inspire a revitalization
movement: an organized, conscious effort to
construct a culture that fulfills long-standing
expectations.
Some scholars have argued that Garvey created
the consciousness from which he built, in the
1920s, the largest revitalization movement in
African American history. But such an argument
only tends to obscure the consciousness of
identity, strength, and sense of history that
already existed in the African American
community. Garvey did not create this
consciousness; rather, he gave this consciousness
its political expression."
In this passage, the question:
The passage suggests that many African American people responded to their experiences in the armed forces in which of
the following ways?
A. They maintained as civilians their
enthusiastic allegiance to the armed forces.
B. They questioned United States involvement in
the First World War.
C. They joined political organizations to protest
the segregation of African American troops
and the indignities they suffered in the
military.
D. They became aware of the gap between their
expectations and the realities of American
culture.
E. They repudiated Garvey's message of pride
and unity.
I choose C because political organisations seems related to revitalisation movement referred to in 3rd para. Further, I eliminated D basis that becoming aware of the gap will not a response (I understood from previous explanations that it is also a type of response)
