Which Statement Best Paraphrases the Reason Given by People Opposed

question 15

Multiple Choice

Which statement best paraphrases the reason given by people opposed to granting Jack Johnson a presidential pardon?

• A) At the time Johnson was unfairly imprisoned, there were so many incidents of racial injustice, remedying this single one makes no difference to anyone, certainly not to Johnson, who's dead.
• B) Talk about righting a wrong by pardoning a dead man is meaningless, given that the man in question has been dead for years.
• C) Because so few presidential pardons are given, it's a mistake to squander one on a man who is not even around to see his name cleared and who never requested a pardon while alive.
