The question is missing the following excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail:”

<em>Just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. </em>

Answer:

<u>To emphasize the morality of his cause</u>

Explanation:

King wrote this letter while he was in prison for being a participant in a nonviolent demonstration against segregation. The letter was a response to the open letter “A Call for Unity” by eight white Alabama clergymen where they criticized demonstrations as a means to end segregation, told black people to be patient, and called King “an extremist.”

So, in the excerpt provided, King uses the allusion to the Apostle Paul to link the civil rights campaign's cause to the Christian traditions and emphasize the righteousness or morality of his cause and actions.

Composition about THE DAY I CAN NEVER FORGET​
harkovskaia [24]
The day was very bright when we decided to play a football match with a nearby football team in our neighborhood. We called the best players among ourselves leaving Kelvin behind. In fact, this guy isn’t good using his foot for things like this, I mean he’s very weak when it comes to playing football but he came along to support us.
We played about ten(10) minutes and they scored us so we decided to break for half time not knowing our best striker whom we believed won’t play again. There was no substitute to fix him and confidently, Kelvin said he can play. We all burst into laughter, we even thought that it was a dream but we had no choice but to replace him since there was no one.
Within three minutes of play, we had scored two goals of which kelvin scored it all. He could dribble from the center to the opponents half and place the ball at a very unexpected position to score a goal. On the thirty-fifth minutes, our opponents gave up for they were tired and the game results in 6:3 in favor us.
We felt ashamed underrating the guy and all he could tell us was that “we should sometimes hide the good things in us in order to know true friends who believe in our effortless caliber”. We were all mute as I told them that “THIS IS A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET”

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Creon asks Oedipus if he wants to hear the news in private, but Oedipus insists that all the citizens hear. Creon then tells what he has learned from the god Apollo, who spoke through the oracle: the murderer of Laius, who ruled Thebes before Oedipus, is in Thebes. He must be driven out in order for the plague to end.
