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.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

In explanation, I will do your intro.

Explanation:

I believe in doing things that I love in my own way. I stay true to myself, no matter what anyone says. I think that it is important to be yourself and follow your dreams. A way to do that is by doing the things that I love. However, in doing that I don't let people tell me how to live my life.

Pointers

-You can change what I have if you'd like..this is just an idea to inspire you!

-Think about how society might tell you to do something different, but that you defy what society says.

-Use figurative language (metaphors, personification, etc.) to make your essay more interesting and colorful!

-Use your personality. If you let your personality shine in your essay, you're sure to capture the attention of your teacher! (Of course, don't go overboard!)

I hope this helps!! :)
