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 The Hot Zone. They closed up their suits and lumbered across the staging area to a large air-lock door. Th
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Staging area

Supply air lock

Hot zone.

Explanation:

The term "jargon" refers to the use of certain words or phrases that is understandable only for people within that same circle. This use of vocabulary which is peculiar to a certain trade, profession, or circle is known as jargon. In short, jargons are words that we do not use in everyday conversations.

In the given excerpt, the use of jargon is seen in the phrases like "staging area", "supply air lock", "hot zone". These terms are used to refer to the particular place that will help them get to another place, the supply air lock being the pipe that supplies air into one part of the whole set-up, and the hot zone referring to the main scene or place where the experiments are done or the virus is most prominent.

Thus, the three jargons are "staging area, supply air lock, hot zone".
