Answer:

Explanation:

During the Children's (effort to improve things or change things) of May 1963, police turned fire hoses on young (the right to vote, to free speech, to fair and equal treatment, etc.,) protesters, including this girl who was knocked to the ground by the force of the water.

1In 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution ended slavery. Nearly a century later, African Americans continued to struggle for (state where all things are equal) under the law. Some major events in this dramatic fight happened in 1963.

2In April of that year--from behind the bars of a jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote a message that would inspire huge numbers of others. King had been arrested for breaking a law (blocking or stopping someone or something) public protest. His message, the famous "Letter From Birmingham Jail," defends peaceful resistance to terribly unfair treatment. "Terribly unfair treatment anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," King wrote. He added, "Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."

3In early May, the young people of Birmingham took King's message to heart. Disobeying a court order, more than 1,000 African American students marched from the 16th Street Baptist Church. The next day, the students marched through Kelly Ingram Park. They were met by an angry white mob as well as police who blasted them with water from fire hoses and scared (very much) them with dogs. The teenagers were jailed in (only lasting for a short time) cells at the county fairgrounds. On the seventh day of the Children's (effort to improve things or change things), city (people in charge of something) agreed to (work or talk with others to reach agreement/get through successfully) with the African American community. A few days later, the two sides reached an agreement to end local (separating things/separating people by race, religion, etc.).

4News of the Children's (effort to improve things or change things) spread in newspapers, web sites, and TV, helping to change the way Americans saw the (the right to vote, to free speech, to fair and equal treatment, etc.,) movement. The New York Times ran more stories about (the right to vote, to free speech, to fair and equal treatment, etc.,) in the two weeks after the Children's (effort to improve things or change things) than it had in the previous two years combined. Scenes of children under attack were filmed and broadcast all over the world, setting off a worldwide outcry. Polls showed that Americans across the land believed racial justice was the nation's biggest problem.

5The struggle for (the right to vote, to free speech, to fair and equal treatment, etc.,) continued to be marked by violence. On May 28, 1963, four African American college students in Jackson, Mississippi, were attacked for sitting at a separated (because of race, religion, etc.) lunch counter. Two weeks later, on June 12, a killer killed (fighter for equal treatment for all people) Medgar Evers outside his home in Jackson.

6That summer brought a hugely important event in (the right to vote, to free speech, to fair and equal treatment, etc.,) history. This was the March for Jobs and Freedom that happened in Washington, D.C., on August 28. Under the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech to a crowd of 200,000 people from all walks of life. The peace and hope of that event did not last long. On September 15, a bomb exploded inside Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church. The attack killed four little African American girls and hurt twenty-two other people.

7The struggle continued throughout 1963. The Southern (related to a large area) (group of people who advise or govern) has records of protests that happened in more than 100 southern towns. About 20,000 demonstrators were arrested. With words and actions, they delivered a demand for justice that could not be ignored.

Which word best describes the tone of “Le Morte d’Arthur”? a. sarcastic b. ironic c. dreary d. informative
fiasKO [112]
The correct answer is C. Dreary.

This is because Le Morte d'Arthur is full of melancholy inducing moments due to the fact that everything will fall apart at a certain point. Arthur's death, and his loss, is inevitable, so is the fall of Camelot, and of his Knights of the Round Table.
