Answer:
You will also want to make sure you have time to edit your essay.
Explanation:
The options you were given are the following:
- You may want to offer some background information in your introduction.
- You will also want to make sure you have time to edit your essay.
- Introductions should contain a thesis statement.
- Introductions need to have an interesting opening.
What the student needs is information on how to write a good introduction paragraph. Including background information, a thesis statement, and an interesting opening are all good advice on how an introduction should be written. The only advice that does not fit is the second one - that the student should make sure to have enough time to edit their essay. That is not relevant to what a proper introduction paragraph should look like.
Thus, the correct answer is: <em>You will also want to make sure you have time to edit your essay.
</em>
Martin Luther King makes the point that 100 years after slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, they are not truly free due to continued segregation.
The entire point that Martin Luther King makes in his speech is that African Americans are still not truly free because of segregation. He continues this idea that America did not live up to the promises made by Lincoln in the Emancipation Proclamation when he uses the extended metaphor of a check for the promises that were made. The other options are simply incorrect. While MLK does refer to slavery, he knows that the original form of slavery has ended so he is not asking for freedom from slavery, but rather from segregation. MLK does not thing life was going very well for African Americans, and he doesn't express extreme anger towards Abraham Lincoln.
