Answer:

To appeal to his critics’ intellect.

Explanation:

In these lines, Martin Luther King makes an allusion to Socrates, one of the most important philosophers of Ancient Greece. Socrates is a very admired figure in the West, and most people believe him to have been intelligent and just. Therefore, by making an allusion to this character, King wants to increase the credibility of his actions. He wants readers to intellectually agree to the quality of King's argument, and in this way, be supportive of his course of action.

Which two parts of this excerpt from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim’s Progress show that the central character is devoutly religious

ValentinkaMS [17]

The two parts of the excerpt that shows the central character is devoutly religious and God-fearing are:

"The man therefore read it, and looking upon Evangelist very carefully, said, Whither must I fly?" This shows that the central character is willing to go the path that Evangelist advises him to, it's something that he feels he wants and must do.

"Then said Evangelist, 'Keep that light in your eye, and go up directly thereto: so shalt thou see the gate; at which, when thou knockest, it shall be told thee what thou shalt do.'" This shows that the central character is willing to follow Evangelist's instruction because of both the character's name and where he is saying he should head.
