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 organizing principle or principles are used in the paragraph?
Soloha48 [4]
After a thorough research, there exists the same question with the paragraph.

<span>Both petroleum and coal are made up of complex carbon-based molecules, and both originated with living creatures of some kind. Both are vital sources of energy for the modern world and both were formed by geologic processes over millions of years. However, petroleum was mainly formed from the remains of ocean-dwelling microorganisms. Coal, on the other hand, originated from decayed vegetation in ancient swamps and bogs. In any case, it took millions of years for both coal and oil to be produced. This is the case because it took that much time for overlying sediments to produce the unimaginable heat and pressure that would one day allow us to harvest these energy resources.
</span>
The paragraph uses 'Compare and Contrast' organization. It presented us the differences and similarities between coal and petroleum.
