The answer is B I took the test
<em>"Heart of Darkness"</em>, written by Joseph Conrad in 1889 in England, has been criticized as racist <em>"for the way the author describes poorly every person he writes about and miscast the Europeans as the victims of colonization", </em>according to Nigerian Author Chinua Achebe.
In his essay <em>“An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness” </em>(1977), the Nigerian author commented that the vision of Conrad was as racist as other African stories on the 19th century.
Another argument the author expresses is that the book emphasizes Europe’s idea of superiority over Africa.
That is why some people consider "Heart of Darkness" as racist.
In the letter, King, mentions how Socrates made people think by creating tension in the mind, and how he wants to do the same so that in a non violent way, people would become a better version of themselves (not racist) and would therefore come together as a brotherhood. Taking into account these ideas, the correct answer would be option B: "The strain among opposing groups in Birmingham was similar to the creative blockades in ancient Athens, to which Socrates referred". Option A is incorrect because Socrates and King were not seeking the same goal. Option C is incorrect because King never mentions city officials or that Socrates petitioned Greek city-states and finally option D is incorrect because King never mentions that Socrates was trying to achieve harmony between warring groups.
