Answer:
The rhetoric technique that Martin Luther King uses repeatedly in the above text is the use of similes and the use of figurative language.
Explanation:
Similes are speech techniques that use the comparison of two variables interestingly.
Figurative language is the use of a word to mean differently to its custom meaning.
<em>Martin Luther King uses Socrates and Jesus figuratively to explain his ideas, since, they are not part of his topic, but have similar traits as the situation he is trying to explain, this is an example of figurative language in the above excerpt.</em>
Martin Luther in this excerpt uses similes multiple times to bring out his points.
Some of the instances where he uses similes are;
- Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical inquiries
- Isn't this like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion?
This questions help him explain his point, it also makes the people understand his point out of the comparison of what they know to what they do not know.

C. Manifest Destiny is worth going to war with Mexico.
Explanation:
For the honest, overbearing Adams, Texas was clearly in that category. Adams began a campaign to stop any renewed talk of annexing Texas, saying that Texas was nothing but the “misbegotten and illegitimate progeny” of the slaveholding South. Texas still legally belonged to Mexico, Adams said, and he would fight any attempts to put the United States in the position of stealing part of another country. The Texas annexation was the 1845 annexation of the Republic of Texas into the United States of America. Texas was admitted to the Union as the 28th state on December 29, 1845. The Republic of Texas declared independence from the Republic of Mexico on March 2, 1836. It applied for annexation to the United States the same year, but was rejected by the Secretary of State. The Manifest destiny was a widely held cultural belief in the 19th-century United States that American settlers were destined to expand across North America. There are three basic themes to manifest destiny: The special virtues of the American people and their institutions.
