Answer:

An extended metaphor with which Dr King compares the failure of the government to cater for her black African-American citizens to a bounced or failed check.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech used to describe a object or scenario by comparing it with another object or thing. (for example 'light of hope to millions of Negro slaves'  as used in line 2 of the Speech)

In lines 17-31 of the 'I Have A Dream Speech' by Dr Martin Luther King, Dr. King uses an extended metaphor to describe the failure of the US Government to cater for the rights of its African-American citizens by comparing the Government's action to a bounced check  which is symbolic of a failed promise or promises.

The promise to all Americans regardless of race or color as enshrined in the American constitution was a guaranteed access to civil rights and liberties.

That promise was however not granted to the African-American  community during Dr King's lifetime prior to making the famous speech

Read the excerpt from Elie Wiesel’s All Rivers Run to the Sea.
Scorpion4ik [409]
In this excerpt, the writer criticizes that the Allies did not respond strongly enough to the death camps in Germany and Poland. He argues that it was easy to postpone the deaths of some people and that one should fight at every instance against crime. It is clear that the author is against the opinion that countries should remain neutral or that people should avoid confrontation at all costs; when human lives are at stake one should mobilize and dispose of the mantle of neutrality. He would probably agree with the opinion that one should proactively fight injustice; this practice would have saved many lives during the holocaust. The correct answer is b. D is wrong because while he thinks that their stance was bad, they did not cause the Holocaust; they just handled it incorrectly.
