The correct answer is C) it conveys King’s beliefs that the goals of the Civil Rights movement are pure and just in the same way that America’s founding ideals are pure and just.

<em>The statement that best explains how the word “sacred” affects the meaning of the speech is: It conveys King’s beliefs that the goals of the Civil Rights movement are pure and just in the same way that America’s founding ideals are pure and just. </em>

In “A Letter from Birmingham Jail”, Martin Luther King Jr. uses wisely the word “sacred” because for him it represents something very cherished and valued. It is a strong belief he feels when compare the Civil Rights movement with the “heritage of the U.S. and the will of God”. For him, this is of the utmost importance and the term “sacred” is clear and profound.
