Answer:

a. She speaks without feeling.

Explanation:

William Dean Howell's short story "Editha" revolves around the character of Editha who forces her fiancé George Gearson, to volunteer in the army. This is her way of trying to make him, or any man, prove their loyalty and courage to get her hand in marriage.

George has no inclination to be a war soldier, but rather he had once wanted to be a minister. And with the news of the upcoming war, George and Editha's opinions of war differs, with Editha supporting it. And so, despite George's reservations about the war, Editha told him she's his, "for time and eternity". But with that being said, it was more like her want to satisfy her craving for a feminine response, with the narrator revealing "she liked the words; they satisfied her famine for phrases."

This shows Editha did not really speak after considering all possibilities. She was merely acting without any careful thought or feeling.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.

I have a dream Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

"In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”

Explanation:

This question is not full as it is missing the options and the answer to part A.

Answer to the first part is:

"King believes that African Americans should not be denied their civil rights, and encourages others to be relentless in their non-violent fight for freedom."

The options to this question are as following:

“But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.”
“In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”
“I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells.”
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

The detail that best supports the statement in the part A answer is 

2. "In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”

With this statement, King says they deserve the right place, civil rights, and equality, but that they should not take the violent measures or, as he called them, "wrongful deeds".

He wants to say that returning force with the force will not be good for the movement as it will only spread and continue the hate.

He wants to fight for the civil rights of African-Americans peacefully, without spreading more blood and hate.
