The answer is A) People saw African American success as an exception.

The novel talks about a time when racism and segregation were rife in the United States society.

They were seen as the norm of every day life and most African Americans lived to belief their status as 'second-class' citizens.

Most were poor and worked as helpers in a home or on the farms.

Success for African Americans was seen as an exception, reserved, mostly for the White privileged.
