The idea that South Africa's end of apartheid is a global commitment to fight racism. This aligns with the optimistic view that South Africa will thrive as a symbol of equality and peace. Here option A is correct.

This statement suggests that the end of apartheid in South Africa is a significant historical milestone and a commitment to combating racism globally.

It implies that South Africa's progress is not only a national achievement but also a symbol of a collective effort to eradicate racism worldwide. This aligns with the optimistic view that South Africa will thrive in the future as a beacon of equality and peace.

Option B emphasizes the importance of measuring progress by the happiness and welfare of children, which is relevant but doesn't specifically support the notion of South Africa achieving the epitome of equality and peace.

Option C acknowledges lingering challenges, and option D addresses the Nobel Peace Prize but doesn't provide direct support for the idea of South Africa thriving in the future after achieving equality and peace. Here option A is correct.

Complete question:

Part A - South Africa has finally achieved the epitome of equality and peace, and the country will thrive in the future. Apartheid is ending in South Africa, and this provides a vision for other people are who are committed to ending inequality globally. Apartheid will never truly end in South Africa, but that doesn’t mean that citizens and leaders should stop fighting it. The true crime in South Africa has not been apartheid, but the violence against women and children. Which detail from the text best supports the answer to the previous question?

A. "Thus, it will mark a great step forward in history and also serve as a common pledge of the peoples of the world to fight racism, wherever it occurs and whatever guise it assumes."

B. "It will and must be measured by the happiness and welfare of the children, at once the most vulnerable citizens in any society and the greatest of our treasures."

C. "But there are still some within our country who wrongly believe they can make a contribution to the cause of justice and peace by clinging to the shibboleths that have been proved to spell nothing but disaster."

D. "We do not believe that this Nobel Peace Prize is intended as a commendation for matters that have happened and passed."
