I must close now. But before closing I am impelled to mention one other point in your statement that troubled me profoundly. You

warmly commended the Birmingham police force for keeping “order” and “preventing violence.” I don’t believe you would have so warmly commended the police force if you had seen its angry violent dogs literally biting six unarmed, nonviolent Negroes. I don’t believe you would so quickly commend the policemen if you would observe their ugly and inhuman treatment of Negroes here in the city jail; if you would watch them push and curse old Negro women and young Negro girls; if you would see them slap and kick old Negro men and young Negro boys; if you will observe them, as they did on two occasions, refuse to give us food because we wanted to sing our grace together. I’m sorry that I can’t join you in your praise for the police department.
Which statement identifies the main idea in this excerpt from “Letter from Birmingham City Jail” by Martin Luther King, Jr.?

"Letter from Birmingham Jail" is an open letter  written on April 16th, 1963 by Martin Luther King Jr. The letter defends the strategy of nonviolent resistance to racism. While Martin Luther King spent 8 days sentence in jail he wrote the letter to not only address the injustice of his arrest, but to only make a statement on the incompetence of the church, the brutality of the police,  but also how despite all of these injustices he is put under, he still writes diplomatically because of his belief of nonviolent resistance.

It is because of these arguments that the statement that identifies the main idea from the excerpt correctly is <u><em>"I'm sorry that I can't join you in your praise for the police department."</em></u> Because it summarizes how the police department treated with injustice the black community but while keeping his diplomacy.

Which three thoughts and feelings do we learn about the narrator? She enjoys farm work. She would like to leave the city before
pentagon [3]

Answer:

She would like to leave the city before it is too late (B)

She would rather work hard than become sick (C)

She believes cold weather will kill the fever (E)

Explanation:

Question:

I silently counted on my fingers: twenty-eight days until the end of September, then on into October until the first frost. Frost always killed fever. Mr. Carris said it drained the poison from the air. The Ludingtons' were sounding better. Slopping pigs couldn't be that much harder than serving in the front room, and it would be better than falling ill or dying. I'd be there over harvest. They would make me work in the fields and feed me bread and water. But I wouldn't get sick.

Which three thoughts and feelings do we learn about the narrator? Pick Three Answers

A) She enjoys farm work.

B) She would like to leave the city before it is too late.

C) She would rather work hard than become sick.

D) She prefers autumn to summer.

E) She believes cold weather will kill the fever

From the 2nd sentence: Frost always kill fever, she believes cold weather will kill the fever.

From the sentence, we infer that: slopping pigs will be better than falling ill or dying. They would make her work in the fields, feed her and she wouldn't get sick.

She meant she would rather work hard than become sick.

From the sentence: She silently counted her fingers as she couldn't wait to leave. I'd be there over harvest. Meaning she would like to leave the city before it is too late.
