Patricia J. Williams, an african american academic, writes about her experiences regarding redlining. She states, "I was treated differently when lenders and real estate agents realized that i was an african american." Which of the following is most likely to have occurred before they realized that she was an African American?
a. she was asked fewer questions about her finances.
b. she was considered a "risk" due to her financial situation.
c. she experienced unkept appointments.
d. she was quoted higher rents compared to people of other ethnicities.

a. she was asked fewer questions about her finances.

Explanation:

As the statement indicates that Patricia was treated differently when lenders and real estate agents realized that she was an african american and considering the options given, the one that would have most likely ocurred before they realized that she was an African American is that she was asked fewer questions about her finances as she was treated as everyone else.

The other options are not the answer because that she was considered "risk" due to her financial situation, that she experienced unkept appointments and that she was quoted higher rents compared to people of other ethnicities would have been behaviors that lenders and real state agents would have taken when they found out that she was an african american.
