Read the excerpt from "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."During my first fast in 1968, Dr. King reminded me that our struggle was his struggle too. He sent me a telegram which said, "Our separate struggles are really one. A struggle for freedom, for dignity, and for humanity." . . .Dr. King challenged us to work for a greater humanity. I only hope that we are worthy of his challenge.Based on the details in this passage, which theme best represents the ideas presented in Chavez’s speech?
Answer
A
Human beings all have the same needs.
B
Crime does not pay.
C
Only the strongest and most fit survive.
D
Innocence, once lost, cannot be regained.
Explanation
Chavez quotes Dr. King describing their struggles as one shared struggle for freedom, dignity, and humanity. This suggests that people have common needs and hopes, so the theme is “Human beings all have the same needs.” The other choices about crime, survival of the fittest, and lost innocence are not supported by the passage.
