Explanation:
The given question has the following options as a possible answer:
- Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, "Wait."
- When you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six-year-old daughter why she can’t go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television.
- Living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to expect next, and are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments.
- I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience.
These quotes are from the 14th paragraph of the <em>Letter from Birmingham Jail</em><em>, </em>an open letter written by Martin Luther King Jr on April 16, 1963. It became an important part of the American Civil Rights Movement. It invites people to actively fight against injustice, which King calls <em>a threat to justice everywhere, </em>instead of waiting potentially forever for justice to come through the courts. As the fight for justice continues even in our time, this letter remains relevant.
The first three paragraphs tell about the struggles the black people were facing, and the last one is meant to persuade the audience to do something. So, the correct option is the fourth one: <em>I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience.</em>
