Solution

The answer is (A) Both explain how President Johnson supported the protesters and voting rights.

Explanation

Option (A): Both explain how President Johnson supported the protesters and voting rights.

This option is correct because the excerpt mentions President Johnson's actions in support of the activists. It highlights his speech to Congress urging the passage of a voting rights bill and his efforts to protect the protesters by involving the U.S. Army and the Alabama National Guard.

Option (B): Both highlight important parts from Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches.

This option is incorrect because the excerpt does not mention Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches. It focuses on President Johnson's actions and support for the voting rights movement.

Option (C): Both describe how the Alabama National Guard protected the marchers.

While the excerpt does mention the Alabama National Guard, the primary focus is on President Johnson's role in ensuring the protection of the marchers, not solely on the actions of the Alabama National Guard.

Option (D): Both list things the U.S. Congress did to pass a voting rights bill.

This option is incorrect because the excerpt does not list actions taken by the U.S. Congress. Instead, it focuses on President Johnson's advocacy for the voting rights bill and his support for the protesters.
