Answer:

A. manacles of segregation

B. chains of  discrimination

C. island of poverty

D. ocean of  material prosperity.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a literary device which applies a word or phrase to another word, which ordinarily it has no connection to. A metaphor reveals the concealed similarities between the two words used. In this excerpt of the speech by Martin Luther King Jr., several metaphors were used. They include;

1. Manacles of segregation- Manacles are chain used in fastening peoples hands or ankles. Segregation is the separation of people. Martins' use of this phrase is a metaphor which highlights the hidden similarities between a chain and separating of people from others. It is a form of bondage.

2. Chains of discrimination- It also has similar meaning to the metaphor above. Chains are linked or compared to discriminatory acts.

3. Island of Poverty- An island is land surrounded by water. An island is bare and isolated. It has a similarity with poverty which is a state of lack.

4. Ocean of Material prosperity- An ocean is a large expanse of sea. It represents abundance and that is why Martins could connect the two words.

Zielflug [23.3K]
