Answer 2

The correct answer is: Riots broke out in more than one hundred cities around the nation.

King's assassination triggered a series of riots in more than one hundred cities all over the country. There were over 35 killed people in the acts. On the following day of his murder, workers in Memphis started a strike and a peaceful march that ended a week later when the city council agreed to the workers' requests.
