Answer 1

**A. The cases reduced racial segregation in schools.**The court cases described in the excerpt, *Mendez v. Westminster* and *Brown v. Board of Education*, were pivotal in reducing racial segregation in schools. *Mendez v. Westminster* challenged segregation in California schools for Mexican-American students, while *Brown v.

Both cases played critical roles in advancing educational equality and desegregation in the United States.
