Answer:

The correct answer is D. outrage

Step-by-step explanation:

In that excerpt, Martin Luther King Jr uses words with emotional connotations to show his outrage for the shameful condition in which the African Americans lived in his time. He does not show indecision or spirituality. He uses terms like exile, languishing in the corners or shameful condition in order to show his outrage and project this feelings unto the audience and mobilize them.
