“We are not talking about superb schools that cost twenty thousand dollars per year PER CHILD that we cannot afford. We are talking of education for ALL of a basic minimum decent quality.”

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a quotation about education quality and accessibility, and asks you to identify who is being described or discussed. 
Option a: Parents. This choice suggests that parents are the primary actors promoting universal basic quality education. While parents are certainly stakeholders in education, the wording of the quote emphasizes collective advocacy and social mobilization beyond individual parental interests, which makes this option less fitting.
Option b: Department of Education officials. This option would imply that government bureaucrats are the main actors. However, the quote highlights a broader social push for accessibility and quality, a role more commonly associated with advocacy groups than with a specific government department, making this option unlikely.
Option c: Teachers. Teachers are essential to delivering education, but the quoted line focuses on a movement or call for change that encompasses more than classroom instruction, pointing toward a broader coalition rather than a single professional group. Hence this choice does not capture the intended emphasis.
Option d: Social activists. This choice correctly aligns with the idea of mobilizing public support to ensure education for all at a basic decent quality, regardless of cost. The phrasing signals a collective, societal push and advocacy work aimed at achieving equitable access, which is characteristic of social activists.
In summary, each incorrect option narrows the scope to a specific group (parents, officials, or teachers), whereas the quote characterizes a broader activist effort to secure universal access to decent education. Therefore, the most fitting interpretation is that the speaker is referring to social activists.
