Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

Edward Alexander Bouchet was a brilliant scientist who broke down barriers for African Americans. In a time when opportunities were rare for people of color, he achieved something remarkable: in 1876, he became the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in any field from an American university. His chosen field was physics, and he graduated from the prestigious Yale University.

Bouchet's achievements are even more extraordinary when considering the challenges he faced. During the late 19^th century, most African American children had difficulty going to school, and racial discrimination was widespread. Even with his groundbreaking doctorate, Bouchet struggled to find a position that matched his qualifications. Universities refused to hire him because of his race.

Despite these setbacks, Bouchet dedicated his career to education. He spent over two decades teaching physics and chemistry at the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia, which was a high school. Although the school had limited resources, Bouchet worked tirelessly to inspire his students.

Bouchet's determination and intellect paved the way for future generations of African American scientists. While true equality in the scientific community took many years to achieve, his pioneering spirit helped to challenge the prejudices of his time and demonstrated that academic excellence was not limited by race.
