Multiple choice

Directions: In the following question, four statements are provided. These statements form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these statements.

A. It is not enough for the Westerner to try to set up a melting pot; it is also essential that the fusion of races should not collide with the obstinate resistance of hostile populations. B. Since the coexistence of two ethnic groups, one of which believes itself to be the victim of unjust social discrimination, is hardly conducive to peace in the world, one would be tempted to look upon the total fusion of all the earth's races as the ideal solution of the fratricidal wars which have rent humanity throughout the ages. C. On the contrary, among the Moslems, racial intermixture encounters for the time being the flat opposition of the only desirable elements of their population. D. Such a fusion is possible for the Hindus: by creating Indo-European half-breeds it would make possible the peopling of Equatorial Africa with a white population that could stand the African climate.
