Question

Read the excerpt from We’ve Got a Job by Cynthia Levinson.

On the morning of Thursday, May 2, however, his teenaged listeners heard, "Kids, there’s gonna be a party at the park. Bring your toothbrushes because lunch will be served.”

Which statement best describes the shared experience of the radio listeners?

Black listeners were frightened by the message, while white listeners were enraged by the message.
Black and white listeners alike were troubled by the message.
Black listeners were motivated by the message, while white listeners were confused by the message.
Black and white listeners alike were puzzled by the message.

Answer 1

the answer is C

Explanation: i got the answer right

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The color of the listeners is never stated so we don't know what the importance of that is. Since that is so, the responses of the blacks when different from the whites cannot be the answer.

So A and C are both wrong for that reason. I don't see how we can distinguish B and D on the basis of what we have been given. There must be more or the question is incomplete.
