Question

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. (1) It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. (2) But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. (3) Malcolm X is a Negro. (4) One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. -"I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King, Jr. Choose the sentence that does not belong in the paragraph. [Give the number.] A) sentence marked 1
B) sentence marked 2
C) sentence marked 3
D) sentence marked 4

Answer 1

C) sentence 3 
That should not be in the paragraph bc it does not fit in the place of the context of the passage 

Answer 2

The sentence that does not belong in the paragraph is C) sentence marked 3.

The sentence "Malcolm X is a Negro" is not related to what the speaker has been addressing in the previous sentences and it does not provide relevant information to what is being discussed either. This is an excerpt from Martin Luther King's famous speech "I Have a Dream", which sought to end with racism in the United States.  Therefore, the main themes of this speech are freedom and equality.
