Read the excerpt from "My First March.”

"Hey, Mama?” I asked. "How can all these buses be going to the same place we’re going? I’ve never seen a building that could hold this many people.” "Well, we’re not going to a building,” Mama said. "We’re going to a march today. That means we’ll be walking through the streets all over our nation’s capital.”

Now read the excerpt from "2000 Buses.”  

Two thousand buses, twenty-one chartered trains, ten special airlines, more cars than one could name a mass meeting they called it, The March for Jobs and Freedom Equal access, Equal justice, For all, and not just some

Question: What event do both excerpts describe?

Options:

The correct answer is: A civil rights rally.

Explanation: In the first excerpt, the title reads ''My First March'' which gives us a clear view of what it will be about. It tells us about a girl who asks her mother why so many buses were going to the same place that they were going and her mother answers by telling her that they were going to a march at the streets all over the nation's capital. In the second excerpt, the narrator describes how ''The March for Jobs and Freedom Equal access, Equal justice for all'' looks like, mentioning 2,000 buses, twenty-one chartered trains, ten special airlines, and more cars than one could name. Both excerpts describe marches, in other words, a civil rights rally.

C. a civil rights rally
