Read the following passages before you choose your answer. Passage One: From "The Criteria of Negro Art" by W. E.B. Du Bois

"Thus all Art is propaganda and ever must be, despite the wailing of the purists. I stand in utter shamelessness and say that whatever art I have for writing has been used always for propaganda for gaining the right of black folk to love and enjoy. I do not care for any art that is not used for propaganda. But I do care when propaganda is confined to one side while the other is stripped and silent."

Passage Two: From "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" by Langston Hughes

"We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, it doesn't matter. We know we are beautiful. And ugly too. The tom-tom cries and the tom-tom laughs. If colored people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, their displeasure doesn't matter either. We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves."

Which statement best describes the relationship between the two passages?

A. Passage Two contradicts Passage One's claim.

B. Passage Two summarizes Passage One's claim.

C. Passage Two supports Passage One's claim.

D. Passage Two is unrelated to Passage One's claim.
