Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

(1) It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

(2) But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

In the first two paragraphs King uses figurative language that compares justice to
A) water and a cup.
B) summer and autumn.
C) a whirlwind and a revolt.
D) a bright day and a palace.

Answer 1

ITS d. a bright day and palace

Answer 2

A) water and a cup.

He is saying that they have a thirst for freedom and justice, but that they have to be careful to not mistake that "water" (justice) for anything in the cup to drink, which might be "bitterness and hatred", just because they are so thirsty for the justice.
