Which of the following choices is an example of residential segregation?

Races living in separate areas by choice
Races living separately due to prejudicial and discriminatory pressures
Races living separately due to gerrymandering
All of the above

Explanation

Answer: B - Residential segregation is the residential separation of races because of laws or because of prejudicial and discriminatory pressures. Residential segregation has occurred in the US in both the North and South and is still common today. Gerrymandering does not dictate where races live, but it does redraw political lines to weaken the votes of minorities.
