How do Dr. King's allusions, figurative language, imagery, and other devices in the speech reflect the specific viewpoints of the speaker, and, ultimately, persuade the audience to adopt those same viewpoints?

A- King uses figurative language, allusion, repetition, and other forms of rhetorical devices in order to help his audience better understand the historical significance of his words.

B- King uses figurative language, allusion, repetition, and other forms of rhetorical devices so his audience better understands his main idea, that all people should believe what he is saying.

C- King understands that he must use ethos, pathos, and logos in order to manipulate his listener to follow his cause.

D- King uses allusions to the Gettysburg Address, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bible to offer his viewpoint that equality is an issue of both ethics and morality.
