Question

which line from dr. kings \i have a dream\ speech most appeals to the emotions of his listeners?

○ but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
○ let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
○ nineteen sixty - three is not an end, but a beginning.
○ now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.

Explanation:

To determine which line appeals most to emotions, we analyze the use of emotional language. "Let us not wallow in the valley of despair" uses the vivid metaphor "valley of despair" to evoke feelings of sadness and then urges listeners to move beyond it, creating an emotional call to action. The other options are more logical or declarative, while this line directly targets the emotional state of the audience (feelings of despair) and offers hope by discouraging dwelling in it.

Answer:

B. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
