Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It sounds the most logical since C is wrong and the government wanted people to think they helped so they wouldn't use the redlining and not being in the military long enough sounds bad.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer sounds like a trick question, but the most logical answer is C.

A is wrong since banks were not allowed to refuse loans due to the GI Bill home loans; however, the African Americans were usually refused the option of getting the house which helped them qualify. It was really hard for them to find programs that let them get those home loans.
