Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This mome

ntous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. (1) It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
(2) But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. (3) Malcolm X is a Negro. (4) One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

-"I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King, Jr.

C) sentence marked 3

"Malcom X is a Negro." This sentence does not fit. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech. His sentences are long and complex but sentence 3 is short and simple. In the speech Martin Luther King, Jr. is speaking about how even though slavery has ended African Americans are still not seen as equal. The sentence stating "Malcom X is a Negro" doesn't add to his argument.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The main reason why we understand the change of seasons better than the ancient greek did is because we have far greater technology that allows us to see in space and therefore see how the planets move. All the Greeks could do was look with their eyes and make assumptions.
