Question

read the excerpt from martin luther king jr.s \i have a dream\ speech. the negro is still languished in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. and so weve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. the emotional connotation of the underlined word helps king express his indecision. hopefulness. spirituality. outrage.

Explanation:

The word "shameful" has a strong negative connotation. It indicates that King is expressing strong disapproval and anger (outrage) at the situation of the Negro being marginalized. Indecision is about not being able to make a choice, which is not relevant here. Hopefulness is positive and the word is negative. Spirituality is about matters of the spirit and not related to the negative emotion of shame.

Answer:

outrage.
