It's all in the process of elimination.

Choice A: It is a plea to support religious freedom. (Incorrect)

The excerpt never said anything about <em>religious </em>freedom. It only said, "My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man," in which this was the only reference to "freedom."

Choice B: It is a command to end selfish behavior. (Incorrect)

Sure, Kennedy, throughout his administration, was as selfless as could be (supposedly) but that was not the main point of his inaugural speech.

He states, "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."

Even though he is technically telling his audience not to be "selfish," again, it is not the main idea and he wasn't "commanding" them.

Choice D: It is a warning of the dangers of inaction. (Incorrect)

If old Johnny-boy wanted to warn his audience he would have done so instead of coming of with this hippie approach. He rants on about "good deeds" and "love" which does not correspond with Choice D.

Choice C: It is a call to support the greater good. (CORRECT)

Kennedy states, "My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

He also says, "Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you."

John F Kennedy is not "pleading," is not "commanding," is not "warning," but "calling" human beings to support the greater good through "strength and sacrifice" for the "freedom of man."

Therefore, the answer is Choice C.

Answer:

Fifty years ago last January, George C. Wallace took the oath of office as governor of Alabama, pledging to defy the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision prohibiting separate public schools for black students. “I draw the line in the dust,” Wallace shouted, “and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever” (Wallace 1963).

Eight months later, at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Martin Luther King Jr. set forth a different vision for American education. “I have a dream,” King proclaimed, that “one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”

Wallace later recanted, saying, “I was wrong. Those days are over, and they ought to be over” (Windham 2012).

They ought to be over, but Wallace’s 1963 call for a line in the dust seems to have been more prescient than King’s vision. Racial isolation of African American children in separate schools located in separate neighborhoods has become a permanent feature of our landscape. Today, African American students are more isolated than they were 40 years ago, while most education policymakers and reformers have abandoned integration as a cause.
