Answer 1

To determine which city had the largest increase in the African American population from 1910 to 1920 based on the data provided:

- **Chicago**:
- 1910: ~40,000
- 1920: ~100,000
- Increase: 100,000 - 40,000 = 60,000

- **New York**:
- 1910: ~80,000
- 1920: ~140,000
- Increase: 140,000 - 80,000 = 60,000

- **Philadelphia**:
- 1910: ~80,000
- 1920: ~120,000
- Increase: 120,000 - 80,000 = 40,000

- **Detroit**:
- 1910: ~0
- 1920: ~40,000
- Increase: 40,000 - 0 = 40,000

- **Cleveland**:
- 1910: ~0
- 1920: ~40,000
- Increase: 40,000 - 0 = 40,000

From the calculations:
- Chicago: 60,000
- New York: 60,000
- Philadelphia: 40,000
- Detroit: 40,000
- Cleveland: 40,000

Both Chicago and New York experienced the largest increase of 60,000 each.

If the question is asking for a single answer and you have to pick from the options provided, the best choice would be:

**New York** (since it is listed as an option).
