(1) Last week, the mayor sold the run-down Village Green Park to condo developers. (2) The park had been neglected for years, an

d neighbors complained that it was becoming little more than a garbage heap and a haven for stray dogs. (3) In the months prior to the decision, the water conservation department had whined to the press that the park’s polluted stream threatened to contaminate nearby groundwater. (4) The contaminated stream had already started inundating the surrounding marshlands at a frequency and duration sufficient to destroy existing vegetation. (5) Change was needed, but the public was shocked at the outcome. (6) “Condos in this housing market?” asked an incredulous neighbor. “Are you kidding me? They’ll be vacant for years.” (7) Most people in the town had assumed that the solution would be to clean the park, not to sell it to the highest bidder. What is the main tone of the passage?

The writings of James Baldwin and Zora Neale Hurston express different perspectives on black culture in America because _____.
bogdanovich [222]
We can use process of elimination to work out what the best answer is to this question. To fully answer it, however, it is helpful to make sure you know who each author is and what they are famous for. Both are African American writers that wrote about race and inequality.

For choice A, while they were born in different parts of the United States, that does not mean they were born in different cultures, so this is not the best choice.

For choice B, this is very true. Hurston focused mainly on the woman's role while Baldwin focused on the man's. This is a good choice for this question.

For choice C, we would need to see a more in depth excerpt or do research to fully determine if this is the best answer, but from what I know about the authors and looking over their biographies, it's safe to say that they had very similar ideas about racism in America.

For choice D, they both explore painful topics because they are exploring what racism and inequality is in general in America. Because of this, this choice is not the best answer.

Based on our elimination, choice B is the best option here.
