Question

Which quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s speech best proves the author’s purpose?

A.

“I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.”


B.

“But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.”


C.

“Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.”


D.

“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.”

Answer 1

I believe it's A or C.

I'm leaning towards C because it explains his goal better than A, rather than just using the vague word, "freedom."
