Asked by maham237 @ in English viewed by 297 People


Question 1 options: King hoped to explain why the discrimination of African Americans is immoral by giving specific examples of its harmful effects. King sought to criticize white Americans who were supportive of his cause but who were too fearful of the Klan’s terrorism to take action to end racism. King attempts to encourage all Americans to end racism by joining the cause to defend civil rights for African Americans. King sought to respond to the criticism he received from people that he considered to be colleagues by methodically addressing each of their claims. Question 2 (1 point) Saved Which statement best expresses King’s central argument in the text? Question 2 options: It is more important to have a timely response to criticism and prejudice than to maintain moral integrity. The presence of injustice necessitates a nonviolent response in order to repair the harms of prejudice and discrimination. Peace in the South will only be achieved after white supremacists are transformed by the white moderate. The church’s role in the civil rights movement continues to create tension and alienate followers. Question 3 (1 point) Saved Which statement best supports the answer to Question 2? Question 3 options: “I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” (Paragraph 5) “Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was ‘well timed’ in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation.” (Paragraph 14) “I had hoped that the white moderate would understand the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace” (Paragraph 25) Question 4 (1 point) Re-read paragraphs 8-13. How did direct action in Birmingham, according to King, develop over time? Question 4 options: After undergoing mental preparation and training, activists made considerations about the timing of holiday shopping seasons as well as the mayoral election. Activists immediately took hasty action after learning about the bombing of negro churches. Due to organizational failures, activists have yet to engage in direct action in Birmingham. Activists focused on training many individuals to participate in the direct action campaign. Question 5 (1 point) How does the section in which King describes his feelings about the church, paragraphs 32-44, contribute to the development of ideas in the text? Question 5 options: King expresses hope that the church will ultimately support the goals of integration, and this injects a sense of optimism into his letter. King questions the decisions of the church in regards to the civil rights movement, and this introduces uncertainty about whether the church will positively impact the future. King argues that the church continues to transform society by sharing the messages of God’s word, and this makes his claims more relevant to Christians. King examines the church’s response and decides that more work must be done to engage the church in the civil rights movement, which conveys the sense that the movement is not yet over.
