The sentence with a conjunction that correctly coordinates the two independent clauses and demonstrates one event ocurring before another event can occur is B) "We may go to the movies later, but I need to do my homework first".

This sentence contains the coordinating conjunction "but", which is joining two independent clauses, that is, clauses that can stand on its own since they include all the information that is necessary to become complete sentences. The two independent clauses in this sentence are "We may go to the movies later" and "I need to do my homework first". Moreover, the word "first" in the second clause indicates that the event described in this clause occurrs before the event described in the first clause. This is also indicated by the word "later" in the first clause. Furthermore, "but" suggests the existence of the speaker's condition of doing homework before going to the movies.

Which pest does Dr. King mention, metaphorically, as being necessary in spurring societies towards reflection and change?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

d. gadflies

Explanation:

In his famous letter from Birmingham City Jail, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote:

“...we must see the need of having nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood”

Gadfly is an established metaphor for the person that doesn’t take the status quo as such and tries to bring the change and the novelty into the society, usually by standing up to the authorities in the process.

Using the gadfly metaphor, King expresses the importance of standing up to the established rules of the society and creating tension that has to end up in change. The tension he calls for is nonviolent and interference to the authority, but impossible to ignore. He is, therefore, calling for nonviolent civil disobedience that will challenge the racial prejudices, and finally abolish them.
