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 negative connotation, referring to a condition that is disgraceful. King's description of the Negro's situation (exile in own land, languishing) and the need to dramatize this "shameful" condition shows his outrage at the unjust treatment. Indecision is about uncertainty, hopefulness is positive (not aligned with "shameful"), and spirituality is about religious/inner life—neither fit. Outrage matches the condemnation of the shameful state.

Answer:

outrage
