african merriment Certainly It's reeling from that flight Your admission
- 00:27
to the university of mississippi in nineteen sixty one Despite
- 00:32
that the supreme court had in nineteen fifty four found
- 00:36
racial segregation in schools to be unconstitutional In practice most
- 00:41
schools in the south were still segregated Terrible sentence terrible
- 00:46
era to all right Well let's think about this The
- 00:51
two parts of this sense are in opposition to one
- 00:54
another writes The supreme court had ruled that segregation was
- 00:58
unconstitutional years earlier but education was still very much segregated
- 01:03
in practice that people were not following the law for
- 01:07
better or worse And yes you can match that to
- 01:10
immigration and some of the other thing where there's a
- 01:12
division there So we can tell that this is going
- 01:15
to be one of those passages that tears us down
- 01:18
before building us back up anyway despite that is in
- 01:22
a is lacking something a big thing despite the fact
- 01:26
that well that would have worked But we're missing the
- 01:29
pb and j The fact in that particular word sandwich
- 01:34
however as in see right there usually suggests that the
- 01:38
sense is a contradiction to a previous one which we
- 01:41
don't have here While because indeed makes it sound as
- 01:46
though the first part of the sentence explains the second
- 01:48
part which is clearly not the case So although is
- 01:51
the right answer is b although is the only answer
- 01:55
that creates the right relationship between the two parts of
- 01:58
the sentence So it would read Although the supreme court
- 02:02
had in nineteen fifty four found racial segregation in schools
- 02:05
to be unconstitutional In practice most schools in the south
- 02:08
were still segregated so that's it It's b and we're 00:02:13.016 --> [endTime] done
