What evidence from the text shows that King uses words with strong connotations to persuade his audience? Check all that apply.

Strong connotations come from words and images that stir emotion or suggest powerful ideas. “Great vaults of opportunity” and “riches of freedom” make freedom sound valuable and abundant; “fierce urgency of now” conveys intensity and immediate need; and “tranquilizing drug of gradualism” portrays gradual change as numbing and harmful. The other phrases are comparatively neutral descriptions.
