Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Brown v. Board of Education, written by Justice Warren. We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does. . . . To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone. . . . Segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children. The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the law, for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the negro group. A sense of inferiority affects the motivation of a child to learn. Segregation with the sanction of law, therefore, has a tendency to [dumb] the educational and mental development of negro children and to deprive them of some of the benefits they would receive in a racial integrated school system. What evidence does Justice Warren give for his reason in this passage? empirical evidence, because Warren provides statistics to show how segregated schools are measurably different anecdotal evidence, because Warren is telling personal stories about children who have experienced segregation logical evidence, because Warren is drawing a reasonable conclusion that segregating children is psychologically harmful historical evidence, because Warren describes how segregation of schools first began and why it has continued through the years

Answer:

Logical evidence, because Warren is drawing a reasonable conclusion that segregating children is psychologically harmful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Logical evidence is when someone presents a reasonable sound argument on his claim. This conclusion is a result of serious research, taking facts into account, and even providing ample evidence to support the claim made.

In the given passage from the court ruling of Brown vs. Board of Education, Justice Warren provides logical evidence to support the claim that segregation of students based on their race not only leads to the assumption that blacks are inferior but also led to a detrimental effect on the students by making them think they are inferior. Justice Warren opines that "To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone", supporting the claim that segregation of students is more harmful than effective for everyone involved.

Thus, the correct answer is logical evidence.
