Which statement BEST supports Bessie Coleman's efforts to become a pilot
Bessie Coleman was born in 1893 in Atlanta, Texas, the twelfth of thirteen children.
The encouragement paid off, because Coleman graduated from
high school, a feat not too many black women were able to
accomplish in the early 1900s.
Bessie Coleman refused to accept the limitations others tried to place on her.
Coleman learned about flying from reading newspaper accounts of air battles during World War I.
Which statement BEST supports the claim that it was difficult for African-american women to become pilots.
As difficult as it was for women to become pilots in significant numbers, it was doubly hard for African-Americans, especially black women.
Even though the United States was the birthplace of flight, it was slower than other countries to develop an organized aviation program.
European leaders immediately saw the commercial and military advantages of a strong national aviation program.
Other blacks had gone to Europe to get their training, too.
Which statement BEST explains why Bessie Coleman did not pursue her pilot's license in the United States
She fully intended to return to school after saving enough money.
. . . no American instructor or flying school was willing to teach her.
While in Chicago she learned about flying and made a new set of goals for herself.
Bessie knew from her reading that both French and German aircraft were among the best in the world
Which statement BEST supports the fact that it was difficult for women and African-Americans to enter the aviation field
. . . Coleman looked for ways to finance her dream.
Flying, it was said, required a level of skill and courage that women lacked.
American aviation was from its very beginnings marred with sexist and racist assumptions.
A number of women in Europe and America gained fame for their skill and daring.
Which statement BEST expresses the central idea of the passage?
Women and African-Americans faced sexist and racist assumptions that made it difficult for them to enter the field of aviation but they continued to pursue their dreams.
American women faced the same struggles as French women, as they attempted to enter the field of aviation.
American welcomed all individuals attempting to enter the field of aviation.
There were no stereotypes or prejudices that kept women and African-Americans from entering the field of aviation.

Racial prejudice WAS NOT restrictive in France. This means race did not hold certain people back.
Which information from the text supports this statement?
The aircraft from France and Germany were among the world’s best.
European leaders valued national aviation programs.
Eugene Jacques Bullard was a well-decorated pilot in the French Lafayette Flying Corps.
