What does Martin Luther King Jr. make allusions to in his "I Have a Dream” speech? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
John F. Kennedy
B
the Washington Monument
C
the Bible
D
Abraham Lincoln
E
the Constitution

Explanation

King alludes to Abraham Lincoln with “five score years ago,” echoing the opening of the Gettysburg Address, and he draws on biblical language and imagery throughout the speech. He also refers to the Constitution as a promise of liberty and equality that the nation has not yet fulfilled. The Washington Monument is not one of the speech’s allusions, and he does not allude to John F. Kennedy.
