explanation:

"solitude is an inner concept rather than an outward one" is the statement among the choices given that  would be included in a summary of paragraph one of society and solitude. the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "c". i hope the answer you.

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.

black citizens were denied access to the same public facilities as whitesun.

marriages between white and nonwhite citizens were forbidden.

nonwhite citizens were required to carry identification papers with them at all times.
