Read the following story excerpt and answer the question that follows: "Come on James!" Nick called him from the street. "Let's

get to the court. The guys are waiting." James looked down at his list of assignments on the computer. "Nick, I can't go today," he yelled regretfully out his window. "I am behind on my work. You are, too! You should come over and we can study together." No response from Nick. James sighed and opened his website. A short time later he heard a loud knock at the door. It was Nick. "You were right. Let's finish up and then go shoot hoops." Which line of dialogue impacted James and changed direction of the story?

Hi kiddo. 

The answer you are looking for is D. "You are, too! You should come over and we can study together."

Reason #1
We can see in the excerpt above that Nick paused after he heard the statement, "You are, too! You should come over and we can study together."
One can deduct that Nick's silent response was due to John's offer and devotion to school.

Reason #2
James' offer to study and do work together may have changed Nick's course. It's not explicitly stated, but one can assume, guilt, gratitude, or even self-pity played a part in his change of attitude. Another quote to support my reason(s) is when Nick said, "You were right. Let's finish up and then go shoot hoops."

Lines 2-12. King is addressing clergymen, an important group especially to him because he has so many other ties and does a lot of work for other religious organizations trying to help people. One of their complaints is that what he is doing is "unwise and untimely".

Lines 17-43: King is in Birmingham because of moral reasons, as he supports with this statement: "<span>I am in Birmingham because injustice is here." He believes injustice is happening and that he can help fix it, which relates to his morality. 

Lines 17-43: King uses religious allusions because he is sending this letter to clergymen, who are religious people. This is his direct appeal to his specific audience. And example of religious appeal is when he says "</span><span>Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns...so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town." This is a specific example from the Bible that he is comparing himself to. </span>
