___________

1. We’re not told what Marshall thought of his critics. 
2. This isn’t true. Lines 27-29 say that Marshall was right to think that the theoretical approach would win.
3. This is probably true, outside experience tells us cases are generally argued first in lower courts. But we’re not told about that. The passage only mentions Marshall’s cases at the Supreme Court.
4. CORRECT. Lines 27-34 support this. Marshall thought he would have to argue in practical terms first before a theoretical argument would work. 
5. Lines 27-29 say that Marshall ‘s preferred goal used a theoretical approach. He wanted to overturn “Separate But Equal”.
