Question 14 • Mad 2017 Phy Sci B -33 SS

What evidence supports the idea that there is less equality in the percentage of people from each group registered to vote?

Answer
A
The gap between the percentage of Black Americans and Whites registered to vote increased from 2014 to 2020.
B
The gap between the percentage of Black Americans and Whites registered to vote was similar from 2014 to 2020.
C
A smaller percent of Black Americans were registered to vote in 2020 than in 2014.

Explanation

If the gap between the percentages of Black Americans and White Americans registered to vote increased from 2014 to 2020, the groups’ registration rates became less similar. That widening difference supports the idea of less equality. A change in the percentage for Black Americans alone, as in choice C, would not show whether the gap between the groups grew.
