Read the following passage from Johnson's remarks at Gettysburg:

It is empty to plead that the solution to the dilemmas of the present rests on the hands of the clock.

Which sentence represents a reason in support of the claim made in the passage?



To ask for patience from the Negro is to ask him to give more of what he has already given enough.


Our nation found its soul in honor on these fields of Gettysburg one hundred years ago.


If the white over-estimates what he has done for the Negro without the law, the Negro may under-estimate what he is doing and can do for himself with the law.


The Negro says, "Now." Others say, "Never."

This comes from the famous speech from President Lyndon B. Johnson, at Gettysburg in 1963. This speech foreshadowed the great changes that were to come only 13 months later in the Civil Rights Movement of the United States. In this speech he addressed the patience the black people had to wait for change which seems never to come.

Question: Which sentence represents a reason in support of the claim made in the passage?

Answer: D. The Negro says, "Now." Others say, "Never."
