diamond gonna wantto here's our question Which of the following
- 00:20
best describes the public reaction to movements like the one
- 00:23
described in the excerpt and your potential answers are resistant
- 00:27
Remember Well let's think how does the general public usually
- 00:32
act when somebody suggests changing the way things have been
- 00:36
done for thousands of years And it ain't pretty Oh
- 00:39
yeah option b isn't usually the case and it certainly
- 00:42
wasn't in elizabeth's day either After all if the public
- 00:45
had been receptive and opened a gradual change while america
- 00:48
probably wouldn't have needed the civil rights movement of the
- 00:50
twentieth century Yeah we're pretty sure no one wants to
- 00:53
spend their time pro testing Unless you really love thinking
- 00:56
of catchy slogans Choice d is wrong for pretty much
- 00:58

with answers See there was most certainly some skepticism or
- 01:21
make that heaping mounds of skepticism or a mountain of
- 01:25
skepticism But really this one doesn't describe public reaction strongly
- 01:29
enough Most people flat out rejected rights for women and
- 01:31
minorities kind of like if the oppressed groups were toddlers
- 01:35
asking to drive the family car It just seemed like
- 01:38
a no brainer toe Just say no Well that means
- 01:40
a is by far the best answer More underrepresented people
- 01:43
in america spoke out during the eighteenth century the more
- 01:46
they were met with hateful opposition and a few really 00:01:50.379 --> [endTime] non catchy slogans
