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.
