Answer:
Steve's perspective about the group approaching Les Goodman's house is:
B. He fears for Goodman's safety in the mob.
Explanation:
Steve and Les Goodman are characters on "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," an episode of the TV show "The Twilight Zone".
In the story, after a strange object flies across the sky followed by a power outage, the neighbors of Maple Street begin to suspect one another. A boy claims that it was probably aliens messing with them, and that some aliens could very well be living among them, in disguise. His theory is enough to spark suspicions and accusations.<u> At a certain point, a group gathers to march toward Les Goodman's house, since they suspect him. Steve is the only one who seems to have maintained his sanity, and he tries to urge others to be reasonable as well. Steve fears for Goodman's safety. He knows that a mob is at the same time powerful and unreasonable. He is afraid that they may end up hurting Goodman without any proof of his being an alien.</u>
Answer:
The detail from "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." that best supports the theme of fight for social justice is "Dr. King knew that he very probably wouldn’t survive the struggle that he led so well. But he said, ‘If I am stopped, the movement will not stop. . . . For what we are doing is right’".
This excerpt shows that Martin Luther King was even willing to die for the cause he believed in and the struggle for social justice; therefore, these words present a figure whose life was marked by sacrifice and determination, which were highly necessary to achieve his main goals: freedom, equality and justice. Martin Luther King gave up his life for a better cause when he was assassinated in 1968 due to the fact he became the leader of the Civil Rights Movement.
