Question: James Baldwin moved to Paris in...

Option 1: 'the 1920s' — This is unlikely because Baldwin was born in 1924, so moving in the 1920s would imply relocating as a very young child. Historical records place his move much later, after he had begun his writing career, making this option inconsistent with biographical timelines.

Option 2: 'the 1940s' — This aligns with Baldwin’s biography. He left the United States for Paris in the late 1940s, a move motivated by a desire to escape racial oppression and to immerse himself in writing and literary work in a new cultural environment. The 1940s framing correctly situates the move in the period after his early years in Harlem and his initial publishing activity, reflecting the historical context of his relocation.

Option 3: 'the 1930s' — This is not accurate since Baldwin would have been a child during the 1930s, and there is no record of him moving abroad at that age. The 1930s timeline clashes with established biographical facts about his life and movements.

In sum, evaluating the dates against Baldwin’s life story shows that the late 1940s is the plausible window for his move to Paris, while the other options conflict with his age or known biography.
