Answer: Metaphor .

Explanation:

This is a line from Martin Luther King Jr.'s open letter, known as The Letter from Birmingham Jail, in which he supports nonviolent resistance to racial discrimination.

King describes all the hardships that people face, and explains that for people who have never experienced them, it is easy to say that those who did need to wait patiently for their rights. One of these hardships is segregation, and King uses a metaphor in this line to emphasize it.

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which two objects/concepts that do not have much in common are compared, in order to explain an idea. There is no such thing as "stinging darts of segregation", but King uses sharp darts to demonstrate the effect that racial discrimination has on people who experience it.

Which statement is true about common and proper nouns?

kotegsom [21]

In the first question, the answer is - D. A - cannot be the correct answer as common nouns (such as - chair, computer, desk) don't have to be written in capital letters. And regarding B, proper nouns (such as John, Thames. America) always have to begin with a capital letter. C - is simply incorrect, using proper nouns, that is, names, isn't more polite than saying, for example, a wall.

Regarding the second question, the answer is - B. It is the only sentence in which the past simple tense of the verb "to bring" is used. The first example uses the present perfect tense (which isn't a past tense), C - present continuous, and D - future simple.
