The author of the passage was named as a plaintiff in the lawsuit Arlam Carr v. Montgomery Board of Education because:

no other family in the community was willing and able to go to court.

he had been singled out for discrimination by the board.

his family feared violent threats against them.

he was the most deserving academically to go to a new school.

According to the passage, the author would probably agree that despite the difficulties involved in desegregating, Lanier:

integrated schooling was an important step toward ending racial prejudice.

it had no real effect on people’s attitudes about racism.

it wasn't worth putting a child’s life in danger.

highly public lawsuits always have their advantages.

The author shows the reader that Arlam’s desire to go to Lanier High School:

became a reality in his sophomore year.

reflected his mother’s desire that he go there.

was fulfilled immediately after his lawsuit was settled.

was a dream he was never able to realize.

Arlam’s friend ends his yearbook inscription to Arlam with the phrase “We shall overcome” most likely to indicate that the friend:

is deeply ashamed of his former bigotry.

has been subjected to prejudice as well.

knows that Arlam can overcome any obstacles he faces.

wants Arlam to know he believes that people of all races can get along.

The main theme of the essay is that:

this book does not deserve to be maligned, regardless of the complete lack of merit of all his previous work.

Anderson’s book is the most beautiful and meaningful the reviewer has ever read, in spite of Anderson’s highly questionable writing skills.

this book succeeds because of its unique form and the author’s ability to make the common things seem beautiful.

some writers can make dull ideas truly beautiful.

According to the essay, what is one of two reasons that though Sherwood Anderson is a great writer, his other books have been unsuccessful?

In the past, he worked mostly as a short story writer.

He spent too much time trying to make politicians more honest.

His talents and aims are somewhat disconnected.

His writing shows more determination than common sense.

the author’s life, with all its ups and downs.

a man who learns to appreciate those who have helped him.

The statement in the fourth paragraph that, “he often takes a very banal idea of things and presents it with such craftsmanship that the person reading it believes it beautiful” means that the author thinks that Anderson:

can communicate ordinary ideas in an appealing manner.

cannot write well but is able to fool most people.

is in awe of an artistry he cannot master.

According to the essay, what makes “A Story Teller’s Story” more successful than some of Anderson’s previous work?

It is written in response to receiving a literary award.

It has received more popular acclaim.

It combines tragedy and comedy.

It is written in the unique style that best suits the book’s author.

was at last able to make good use of his knowledge of Latin.

was uncertain of his skill when writing “Many Marriages.”

had stopped his association with honest politicians.

had finally learned to take himself and his work more seriously.

“A Story Teller’s Story” is the only work of real value that he has created to date.
