Read the excerpt from We've Got a Job by Cynthia Levinson.

As soon as James's group was hauled away, Bevel released the next group of fifty students. When that batch was arrested,
the next group burst from the church.

"Leaving out of the basement... We had our signs and all, I started crying," Arnetta said. This time she didn't cry out of fear.
"When I looked up and saw all of the people ... the idea of what was about to take place. The ... Movement was moving
forward. It was just overwhelming."

Each group emerged singing and clapping. Audrey's group sang "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me 'Round." She later
exclaimed, "The singing was like a jubilance." Her group didn't march as far as James's had. "We got across the street, to the
middle of the next block." As her parents watched, she was arrested and put in the paddy wagon. Holding her game tightly, she
was driven to Juvenile Hall at City Jail.
Which general statement about the Movement is most likely true?

-The young people involved in the march were all members of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church.
-The young people involved in the Movement had their parents permission to participate.
-All of the participants in the march were crying either tears of fear or tears of joy.
-All of the participants in the march were deeply inspired by the Movement.

Answer:

The general statement about the Movement that is most likely true is:

D) All of the participants in the march were deeply inspired by the Movement.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are basing our answer on the excerpt provided in the question. The excerpt does not give us enough information to know if everyone had their parents permission, or if they all belonged to that same church, much less if they were all crying tears of joy. It does, however, induce us to believe all the participants were deeply inspired by the movement. According to the narrator, they were not only very organized, but they knew what was going to happen. They knew they would be arrested, but they felt so inspired with courage that they kept on coming, defying the authorities. As the narrator says, "The ... Movement was moving forward. It was just overwhelming."
