Answer:

D• Teacher has underestimated the son

Explanation:

According to the father, even though he may be just 5 years of age, he had <em>"already been through quite an education compared with his peers in Western society</em>". Just because he is shy and quiet in the classroom, that doesn't mean he is a "<em>slow learner</em>" like the teacher had labelled him to be. It may be that he finds it uncomfortable being among the many 'white' kids and not around his usual circle of "Red Indian" people he had been with since his birth. One is bound to feel out of place in a new environment and that is exactly what the boy may be feeling. And so, the father argues that the teacher is underestimating his son and that his son is no different from his "white" classmates, just that he may be feeling isolated from the other kids.

maria [59]

Martin Luther King Jr. was influenced by Thoreau’s "Civil Disobedience" because it explained methods for nonviolent protest. Option C is correct.

Thoreau’s "Civil Disobedience" was a blueprint for methods of nonviolent protest.

Thoreau wrote Civil Disobedience in 1849, amidst slavery issues and the Mexican-American war. He wrote it right after being imprisoned in Concord, Massachusetts charged with refusing to pay his taxes.

Thoreau claimed in the "Civil Disobedience" that the government was not fair, and democracy only favored and protected the majority.

He was reluctantto pay his taxes as part of the Civil Disobedience, since the Mexican American war would give way to an expansion of slavery he desagreed with.

Thus, Thoreau  was regarded to as the pioneer of nonviolent methods to protest against the government and that inspired Martin Luther King Jr.
