Carol was a student and wanted to see Brown v. Board of Education enforced, while Robert focused on improving overall social, political, and economic opportunities for African Americans.

Based on their views, which organizations would Robert and Carol have likely joined?

Robert likely joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Carol likely joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

B.
Robert likely joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Carol likely joined the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee.

C.
Robert likely joined the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and Carol likely joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

D.

Answer 1

Based on their views and actions described in the passage, the most fitting answer is:

B. Robert likely joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Carol likely joined the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee.

This is because Robert's focus on organizing letter-writing campaigns and marches aligns well with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which was known for its organized protests and advocacy, often led by church leaders. Carol's wish to participate in sit-ins reflects the activities of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which played a significant role in sit-ins and other direct action protests during the civil rights movement.
