Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES W

HATSOEVER," and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. . . . . . . Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he. What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt?
A. trapped
B. connected
C. depended
D. aided

Answer:

The best answer for the question: What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt, would be, A: trapped.

Explanation:

Trapped is defined as being held, or captured, restrained or entrapped by something or someone. Essentially, it means that a person´s, or something, freedom, is limited due to something tying it, or them, down. When the speaker in this excerpt says that "Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER", he is making allusion to the fact that binding, or being bound, is like talking about being limited, withheld from their right to be free and to choose their own fates and the way they are governed. Because he uses the word "bound" as a form to talk about limitations, and being held back, especially from freedom, and then makes allusion to this being equal to slavery, then the best option to choose from to answer the question would be A: trapped, which essentially presents the same idea as "bound" would.

Answer:

Martin Luther King Jr. is an inspiration to me. He was born Jaunary 13, 1929, and attended Morehouse College at the age of 15. Martin was inspired by Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, and many influental leaders of the past. He led the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, and was arrested for peacefully protesting in 1960. Based on MLK’s work, the Interstate Commerce Commission banned segregation in interstate travel. On June 23, he led a group of 125,000 people in a Freedom Walk in Detroit, and on August 28, he joins more than 250,000 people in the March on Washington and delivers the famous “I Have a Dream” speech. He was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, and unfortunately was assinated in 1968, at the age of only 39.

Despite all the hatred and discrimination he endured, he kept a peaceful outlook. Non-violent protesting was his method against racism. Looking at his life, we can learn that hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.

Hope this helps!
