In the letter, King, mentions how Socrates made people think by creating tension in the mind, and how he wants to do the same so that in a non violent way, people would become a better version of themselves (not racist) and would therefore come together as a brotherhood. Taking into account these ideas, the correct answer would be option B: "The strain among opposing groups in Birmingham was similar to the creative blockades in ancient Athens, to which Socrates referred". Option A is incorrect because Socrates and King were not seeking the same goal. Option C is incorrect because King never mentions city officials or that Socrates petitioned Greek city-states and finally option D is incorrect because King never mentions that Socrates was trying to achieve harmony between warring groups.

In "The Proper Place for Sports," Roosevelt argues about his son's desire to join the school's football team. In the letter Roosevelt is concerned that the boy's physical condition is sufficient for the sport he wants to practice. However, Roosevelt agrees to let him take the test if the coach says he is not in danger of health. Roosevelt also says that playing sports is very important, but this should not be done to the detriment of the academic performance of the boy, who must maintain good grades and be concerned with studies.
Accordingly, we can say that Roosevelt is in accordance with the thematic statement and rhetorical strategy shown above. He agrees that if sport is damaging the body and academic performance, sport is not being beneficial and, therefore, losing its main function.
