Question

read the excerpt from martin luther king jr.s \the american dream\ speech.

we must come to see that no individual can live alone; no nation can live alone.

which statement from governor george wallaces inaugural address best serves as conflicting evidence for kings statement?

we invite you to come and be with us
each separate political station making its contribution to our lives
you are southerners too and brothers with us in our fight
we, together, can give courageous leadership to millions of people

Explanation:

Analyze King's statement

King's statement, "no individual can live alone: no nation can live alone," emphasizes unity, interconnectedness, and the necessity of mutual cooperation among all people and nations.

Evaluate the options for conflicting evidence

We need to find a statement from Governor George Wallace's address that directly contradicts or opposes King's idea of interconnectedness and unity.

• "we invite you to come and be with us": Suggests inclusion, not separation.
• "each separate political station making its contribution to our lives": Emphasizes separation ("separate political station") rather than living together in unity, directly opposing King's claim that "no individual/nation can live alone."
• "you are Southerners too and brothers with us in our fight": Suggests brotherhood and shared identity.
• "we, together, can give courageous leadership to millions of people": Emphasizes working together.

Select the best option

The second option, "each separate political station making its contribution to our lives," advocates for segregation and separation, which serves as conflicting evidence to King's message of unity and interdependence.

Answer:

• (A) we invite you to come and be with us
• (B) each separate political station making its contribution to our lives (Correct answer)
• (C) you are Southerners too and brothers with us in our fight
• (D) we, together, can give courageous leadership to millions of people
