A Response to 9/11 by Jonathan Safran Foer — Cumulative exam

Question 1 • AZ-English Language Arts 11 B-CR

Read the excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.”The Negro has many pent up resentments and latent frustrations, and he must release them. How does King conclude this claim?

Answer
A
by stating the inevitability of violent protests
B
by urging White leaders to release him from jail
C
by encouraging White leaders to allow nonviolent protests
D
by persuading his followers to break laws and create unrest

Explanation

King argues that pent-up resentment must be released. He warns that if it is not expressed through nonviolent action, it may come out through violence, calling this a fact of history rather than a threat. Thus, he concludes by emphasizing the likelihood of violent protest if nonviolent outlets are denied.
