OG Passage-4
Some scholars have argued that Garvey created
the consciousness from which he built, in the
1920s, the largest revitalization movement in
African American history. But such an argument
only tends to obscure the consciousness of
identity, strength, and sense of history that already
existed in the African American community. Garvey
did not create this consciousness; rather, he gave
this consciousness its political expression.
It can be inferred from the passage that the "scholars"
mentioned in line 24 believe which of the following to
be true?
(A) Revitalization resulted from the political activism
of returning African American soldiers following
the First World War.
(B) Marcus Garvey had to change a number of
prevailing attitudes in order for his mass
movement to find a foothold in the United
States.
(C) The prevailing sensibility of the African
American community provided the foundation of
Marcus Garvey's political appeal.
(D) Marcus Garvey hoped to revitalize
consciousness of cultural and historical identity
in the African American community.
(E) The goal of the mass movement that Marcus
Garvey helped bring into being was to build on
the pride and unity among African Americans.
Why option D is wrong- Passage does says the "Garvey
did not create this consciousness; rather, he gave
this consciousness its political expression." So it is kind of providing something positive or we can revitalization to movement.
Experts Please help.
Thanks
