Answer 1

The formatting is a little unclear to me, but I would say b. Within days, King led more marches in the state, and President Lyndon Johnson soon was pressing Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

A voting act sure is a big part of history, and the marches led by Dr King were nonviolent.
