Answer:

C). Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is demonstrated as the literary device that establishes an implicit comparison between two distinct things in order to explain and clarify a point to the readers. It assists the author or speaker to display that assists the readers to have a clear and comprehensive understanding.

In the given excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr's 'Nobel Price Acceptance Speech', 'metaphor' is employed to compare the two completely unrelated or contradictory ideas i.e. 'justice and an injured person' to explain the implicit similarity or resemblance between the two as they both are helpless. Thus, he displays a need to uplift the justice from this 'dust of shame to reign supreme.' Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

What do you call drawing squares on dracula?
ycow [4]

I am not sure what a joke has to do here, but anyway, a question is a question. This is a joke which answer expects a pun or a play with words. The answer to this joke is: "Checking account"

When somebody asks you what do you call drawing squares on Dracula you answer: Checking account because Dracula was a Count, and the sound produced by saying together " a count" is the same as "account".

A checking account is a deposit account held at a financial institution that allows withdrawals and deposits. Also called demand accounts or transactional accounts, checking accounts are very liquid and can be accessed using checks, automated teller machines and electronic debits, among other methods.

This joke makes reference to this popular kind of bank account.
