Which piece of evidence best illustrates the reason below? Reason: King uses a metaphor to appeal to his audience’s emotions. “We cannot walk alone . . . . We cannot turn back.” “Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.” “But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.” “Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina.”

The corrct answer is “But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.”

Step-by-step explanation: This is an example of King's "bad check" metaphor. The "bank of justice" is a metaphor for opportunities, and he refuses to believe that the funds are limited. He states that African Americans were given a "bad check" because they were give limited opportunity.
