Question 14-16 refer to the excerpt below.
"To be sure, much of progressivism was exclusionary. Yet we can now recognize not a singular political persuasion, but rather a truly plural set of progressivisms, with workers, African Americans, women, and even Native Americans—along with a diverse and contentious set of middling folk—taking up the language and ideas of what was once conceived of as an almost entirely white, male, middle-class movement. As for the dreams of democracy from the period: despite the frequent blindness of those who embodied them, they remain bold, diverse, and daring. It is for this reason that democratic political theorists... have looked so longingly at the active citizenship of the Progressive Era, seeking ways to rekindle the democratic impulses of a century ago."

"Any discrimination based simply on race or color is barbarous, we care not how hallowed it be by custom, expediency or prejudice. ... but discriminations based simply and solely on physical peculiarities, place of birth, [or] color [of| skin are relics of the unreasoning human savagery of which the world is and ought to be thoroughly ashamed.
