Question

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
a.
Sharecroppers were often former slaves or other African American workers.
b.
Sharecroppers could only be former slaves or African American workers.
c.
Many sharecroppers were kept in poverty by high rent costs.
d.
Some sharecroppers planted with materials provided by the land owner.

Answer 1

i think d is correct because African American were held for slaves

Answer 2

No- D is actually a true statement which makes it not the answer since we're looking for something that is false.

Sharecroppers were poor so some of them did have to use material that was provided by the land owners.

But there's another answer choice which is false and it contains an absolute word too which gives it away.

If you read the Wikipedia article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharecropping#United_States

Go to the section on United States and read the first 2-3 sentences

Answer 3

"Sharecropping was a way for poor farmers..."

So which answer statement is false and makes that the answer to the question?
