This question is missing the excerpts. I was able to find the complete question online. The excerpts are the following:
Mr. Luther King Jr.: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness."
Governor George Wallace's inaugural speech: "We invite the negro citizens of Alabama to work with us from his separate racial station . . . as we will work with him . . . to develop, to grow in individual freedom and enrichment."
Answer:
The excerpts conflict because:
B. the first suggests that all are born with equal rights, while the second suggests that certain citizens need to be separated in order to become equal.
Explanation:
While Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states that all men, independently of race, are born equal, Governor George Wallace states the opposite. According to him, black people can work with white people, only separately. He claims that there is equality and freedom in segregation, which we all know to be impossible. As we can see, the two excerpts present conflicting ideas. The first defies segregation while the second tries to justify it and maintain it. Having that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option.
D. After some practice, Randy was better able to maneuver the remote-controlled airplane
