Answer:
The detail from "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." that best supports the theme of fight for social justice is "Dr. King knew that he very probably wouldn’t survive the struggle that he led so well. But he said, ‘If I am stopped, the movement will not stop. . . . For what we are doing is right’".
This excerpt shows that Martin Luther King was even willing to die for the cause he believed in and the struggle for social justice; therefore, these words present a figure whose life was marked by sacrifice and determination, which were highly necessary to achieve his main goals: freedom, equality and justice. Martin Luther King gave up his life for a better cause when he was assassinated in 1968 due to the fact he became the leader of the Civil Rights Movement.
Romiette and Julio is about a inter-racial relationship, that takes a turn for the worst. It first begins when Julio moves from Texas to Cincinnati to get away from gang violence. He goes to a mostly African American high school. Little did Julio's parents know, that this high school has gangs too. He doesn't have much friends but he gets through the first few weeks. He goes on a chat room and meets Romiette but they don't find out that, they live in the same city and go to the same school, until later. When they do befriend each other, a certain gang called the Devil Dogs who was an African American gang, don't like the fact that the two are getting close so they warn Romiette and Julio. She doesn't think much of it but they think of a plan to make fun of the Devil Dogs. The plan worked but the Devil Dogs weren't going to take the humiliation. A few days later the Devil Dogs kidnap Romiette and Julio and set then in a lake during a thunderstorm. They end of getting out of the boat and back on to land but Romiette is going in and out of conciseness. Julio tries to find shelter but trips and falls in the mud. He then decides to go in the nearest ditch to stay alive with Romiette in hes arms. Police soon finds them and they are sent immediately to the hospital to get checked out. The Devil Dogs are in custody art the police and are probably gonna get charged for kidnapping. Soon, Julio and Romiette are back to normal and neither aren't bothered again about their relationship.

Answer:
The central idea developed and supported by the passage is:
4. The slave trade was very fair and humane toward enslaved captives.
Explanation:
Take a look at the following passages:
- Corporal punishment [...] not until the culprit understands exactly why it is done.
- [...] to ensure security from harm in those nightly battles that occur...
- [...] men, women, girls, and boys are allowed to unite in African melodies.
- [...] the greatest care, compatible with safety, is taken of a negro’s health and cleanliness on the voyage.
<u>The speaker makes it sound as if slavers were doing their best to take care of African slaves. He makes it seem as if the way they were treated was humane and fair. They were not punished until they understood why they were being punished for. They were kept clean, and were allowed to express their culture through melodies. Their safety was taken into consideration since slavers knew there would be fights. In summary, the excerpt makes it sound as if slavers were good people who were doing nothing besides keeping slaves healthy, clean, and safe from their own barbaric behavior.</u>
