Hi Ivan,

There are two legal approaches that are described in the passage.

The first approach (discussed in lines 19-25) can be called the "practical" approach. This approach was to show that the facilities were not actually equal and to argue for improvements in the facilities that African Americans used. Notice the word "practical" in line 21.

Answer E in this question is describing the first approach, the "practical" approach.

Unfortunately, the question is asking about the second approach, the "theoretical" approach.

The second approach (discussed in lines 23-27) can be called the "theoretical" approach. Notice the words "a second, more theoretical approach" in line 23. This approach argues that the very concept of separate but equal is impossible to fulfill and is self-contradictory and legally unsound.

This theoretical approach is correctly described in Answer B.
