Final answer:
Assuming the question refers to George McLaurin, he was well-educated, having been the first African American to attend the University of Oklahoma's graduate school. The correct answer would be D) Well-educated.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question "Which best describes McLaurin's educational background?" seems to refer to a particular individual, possibly George McLaurin, who was an African American teacher and civil rights figure. However, without additional context, it's difficult to provide an accurate description of McLaurin's educational background.
If we assume that the question is about George McLaurin, the answer would be D) Well-educated. George McLaurin was the first African American to attend the University of Oklahoma's graduate school after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents that the university must admit him, although it could maintain separate facilities. His case contributed to the end of racial segregation in American education.
Nevertheless, if the question refers to a different McLaurin or specific details from a literary or historical text not mentioned here, it would be important to look into that specific context to determine the best answer that describes McLaurin's educational background.
