**45 POINTS** In his argument for constructive, nonviolent tension, King wisely cites Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher wh

om King suggests also advocated a form of tension.
For his English assignment, Zach is writing a brief analysis of the topic of nonviolent tension that he drew from “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” Which sentence best follows the sentence above to clarify King's reference to Socrates?

Tension is necessary in life, which Socrates pointed out, and King embraced this concept.
Socrates' thinking about internal change fit King's theory about external change, so King used this analogy to promote the advantages of adopting his perspective.
Tension is uncomfortable, and people who are in tense situations will either act to change the situation or remove themselves from the situation completely.
Socrates' “tension of the mind” promoted a level of discomfort necessary for growth that helped people learn to analyze in creative ways.

The correct answer is C) tension is uncomfortable and people who are in tense situations will either act to change the situation or remove themselves from the situation completely.

<em>The statement that best follows the sentence above to clarify’s King’s references to Socrates is “tension is uncomfortable and people who are in tense situations will either act to change the situation or remove themselves from the situation completely.” </em>

In his 1963 “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, Martin Luther King Jr. evokes three times to Socrates, the famous ancient Greek philosopher. In the letter, King addressed the clergymen who critique his nonviolence resistant way of protesting. So the statement that best follows the sentence above to clarify’s King’s references to Socrates is “tension is uncomfortable and people who are in tense situations will either act to change the situation or remove themselves from the situation completely.”

In the gift of magi what is dellas problem in the story
ANEK [815]
"The Gift of the Magi" tells the story of a young couple Jim and Della. Christmas is coming, and each wants to buy the other a present. The problem is that they really cannot afford to spend a lot of money on presents. Jim treasures his gold pocket watch, which has been given to him by his father. Della treasures her long, beautiful hair. 

As the story progresses, the two struggle to think of ways to buy a Christmas present for each other. Finally, on Christmas Eve, Della realizes she has next to no money left for her husband's Christmas present. What will she do??? 

At this point, she goes into town to search for something to buy with the little money she has. She knows that her husband's most prized possession is his pocket watch. She thinks that maybe she could buy him a chain for it, but they are all too expensive.

That's when Della realizes she has a way to EARN the money -- her hair. She runs out and has it cut short. She is able to sell the hair for enough money to buy the chain for her husband's watch.

Her husband comes home with a present for Della. When he sees her, however, he is shocked. She tells him she cut her hair for his present. When Jim hands her his present, we can see why he was so shocked. He had bought her a pair of really expensive hair combs. How could he afford such a gift? He had sold his most prized possession -- his watch -- just to buy his wife a present. 

Of course, now that Della has short hair, she cannot use the combs. And, now that Jim has sold his watch, he has no use for the chain. That aside, their love for one another is the greatest gift of all.

And so, Della's problem was how to buy a gift for her beloved husband. She solves this problem by selling her most prized possession, her hair.
