Answer:

d. gadflies

Explanation:

In his famous letter from Birmingham City Jail, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote:

<em>“...we must see the need of having nonviolent </em><em>gadflies </em><em>to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood”</em>

<em />

Gadfly is an established metaphor for the person that doesn’t take the status quo as such and tries to bring the change and the novelty into the society, usually by standing up to the authorities in the process.

Using the gadfly metaphor, King expresses the importance of standing up to the established rules of the society and<u> creating tension that has to end up in change</u>. The tension he calls for is <u>nonviolent and interference to the authority</u>, but impossible to ignore. <u>He is, therefore, calling for nonviolent civil disobedience that will challenge the racial prejudices, and finally abolish them.</u>

Read the sentence from paragraph 10 of "Routine"
Doss [256]

The impact that the speaker's remark has on the story is this: C. It reinforces the need for the speaker to find the reasons to change from within.

<h3 /><h3>What is the impact of the speaker's remarks?</h3>

The speaker's remarks in the story point to the fact that often, we spend our time seeking solutions to problems that we hold the power to. In this passage, it is quite clear that Dorothy spent a lot of time seeking help from other sources when she had the power to effect the change that she sought.

This reinforces the point that sometimes, all we need is a critical evaluation of our present needs and introspection that will help us to resolve our problems by ourselves. So, instead of wasting time and resources seeking help in other places, we are supposed to look within to find the help that we seek.
