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>

Lhamo said to pema ,"leave me alone " ( use command)​
UNO [17]

When we use the indirect or reported speech to rewrite the sentence, it becomes the following:

Lhamo commanded Pema to leave her alone.

<h3 /><h3>Reported speech</h3>

We use reported speech to tell others what someone said. The verb we use indicates the type of sentence that was said by that person.

For example, "state" and "command" indicate different types of sentences. "State" is used for affirmations, whereas "command" is used for orders.

In the sentence we rewrote above, we used "command" since Lhamo was ordering the other person to leave her alone.
