Which is the most correct meaning of racial segregation under apartheid?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Keeping people separate and unequal by race
Answer: A, keeping people separate and unequal by race. Racial segregation means organising society so that people are separated according to race and do not receive equal rights, services or opportunities. Under apartheid, this separation was enforced through laws and institutions, so it was a system of government, not simply an individual attitude. A is correct because it includes both parts: separation and inequality based on race. B is wrong because equal treatment is the opposite of segregation. C is wrong because giving votes to all describes political inclusion, not racial separation. D is wrong because shared education would oppose enforced separation. Memory cue: segregation means separation; apartheid added legally enforced racial inequality.
