Answer 1

The correct answer is 'b'. The ongoing public debates over how to improve race relations contributed to Hubert's criticism in the excerpt of White Americans who visited Harlem in the 1920s.

Answer 2

## Step 1The first step in solving this problem is to understand the context of the excerpt. The excerpt is a reflection by Levi C. Hubert, an African American journalist, on the experiences of White Americans who visited Harlem in the 1920s. The excerpt describes these visitors as "well-meaning vapid (dull) Whites" who came to Harlem, a hub of African American culture and art, with a sense of novelty and curiosity.## Step 2The next step is to analyze the options given. The options are:a) The inability of African American artists to influence popular cultureb) Ongoing public debates over how to improve race relationsc) Opposition to recruiting African American soldiers for the United States Armyd) Racial restrictions on the freedom of speech imposed during the First World War## Step 3The final step is to match the context of the excerpt with the options given. The excerpt does not discuss the inability of African American artists to influence popular culture, opposition to recruiting African American soldiers for the United States Army, or racial restrictions on the freedom of speech imposed during the First World War. However, it does reflect on the ongoing public debates over how to improve race relations, as it discusses the curiosity and novelty of White Americans visiting Harlem, a hub of African American culture and art.
