Here's an unshmoopy question for you... You'll want to get nice and cozy with this

00:06

passage... go ahead and hit pause for a skinny minute to look 'er over...

00:28

Which of the following is supported by information in the essay?And here are the potential answers...

00:36

Ok, so once again, we have a question that wants us to look through our answer choices

00:40

and pick the one backed up by the passage.

00:46

Let's find out who our three pretenders are... First we've got A... "The Ku Klux Klan was

00:51

banned during the 1920s."

00:53

The Klan is mentioned in the last two paragraphs, but no mention of banning. We can kick the

00:58

Klan to the curb. B? "The majority of Americans lived in rural

01:03

communities."

01:05

Not according to this sentence in the second paragraph...

01:08

...that claims most people were living in cities in 1920.

01:13

What about C... "Very few people struck it rich during the Roaring Twenties."

01:17

Really? Then why were they so "roaring?"

01:20

Right out of the gate we are told it was an "era of unprecedented affluence."

01:32

Finally... D -- "1920s America was extremely divided, both culturally and politically."

01:38

Definitely. Throughout this passage, we are continually reminded of the divide between

01:43

country and city folk, rich and poor, black and white...

01:47

Our answer is D.

01:48

As in, "Dinosaur heyday."
