Hi! Given that you asked several questions and some of them are missing information (like bolded phrases), I went online to find them. I will copy-paste your questions and answer them separately. I will proceed to underline the words that meant to be bolded. In bold, I will mark the correct answer.

Answers:

1) Which of the following lines from King's letter is meant to be interpreted literally ?

A. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer

B. It was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society

2) In the sentence "Now is the time to <u>lift our nation</u> from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity," the bolded phrase creates a mood of __________ among the audience.

A. Hope B. Respect C. Love D. Honor

C. Permitting people to be treated unfairly is a dangerous national policy.
