Answer
A
Martin Luther King Jr. includes the right amount of words with strong emotional connotations in his “I Have a Dream” speech.
B
Martin Luther King Jr. appeals to reason and emotion in his speech.
C
In “I Have a Dream,” Martin Luther King Jr. uses repetition and words with strong connotations to persuade his audience to work peacefully to achieve equal rights for all.
Explanation
A strong topic sentence should identify the argument techniques King uses and connect them to his purpose. Choice C names repetition and words with strong connotations, then explains that he uses them to persuade his audience to work peacefully for equal rights. Choice B is relevant but too general, while choice A focuses on the amount of words rather than explaining the techniques or purpose.
