Answer 1

A. The case represented a conflict between modern science and religion

Step-by-step explanation:

The William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow trial of 1925 involved a school teacher in Dayton named John T. Scopes who was accused of teaching evolution. The teaching of evolution was forbidden by the law in Tennessee. Dayton got involved because of a call made by the American Civil Liberties Union to challenge the law.

Darrow who was in support of evolution defeated Barrow in his questioning about the trueness of creation but the judge still ruled that Scopes was guilty. He was also made to made a fine of $100. The ruling was later overturned.
