Writing Workshop: Exploring Argument — Unit test

Question 6 • Expository Reading and Writing - ELA3013 A

Which detail from "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." best supports the theme that positive change often comes when people work together?

Answer

"While other people talked about change, Dr. King used direct action to challenge the system."

"The enemies of justice want you to think of Dr. King as only a civil rights leader, but he had a much broader agent."

"Pesticides have created a legacy of pain, and misery, and death for farm workers and consumers alike."

"We have witnessed truckloads of grapes being dumped because no one would stop to buy them."

Explanation

The detail about truckloads of grapes being dumped shows that people collectively refused to buy them, making their shared action visible and powerful. This supports the theme that people working together can bring positive change. The other choices focus on Dr. King’s approach, his broader role, or the harms of pesticides without showing people acting together.
