Argument Technique in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" Speech (Continued)

Question 86664 • EF English 12 - 1st 9 Weeks (New)

Imagine that you have decided to write an analysis about King’s use of metaphor and repetition as rhetorical techniques. Which topic sentence best introduces the analysis?

Answer
A
The strongest two techniques King uses in his “I Have a Dream” speech are repetition and metaphor.
B
In his “I Have a Dream” speech, King uses both metaphor and repetition as rhetorical techniques to convince his audience to work toward a future of equality.
C
King is determined to do whatever it takes to achieve equality, so he delivers a powerful speech using repetition and rhetorical techniques.
D
Metaphor and repetition are two rhetorical techniques that King uses in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

Explanation

Choice B is the strongest topic sentence because it identifies both techniques—metaphor and repetition—and explains their purpose: persuading the audience to work toward equality. Choice D merely names the techniques without presenting an analytical focus, while A makes an unsupported claim that they are King’s strongest techniques.
