Question

final exam sem. 1 eoc intervention option 1
the passage most strongly suggests that which of the following statements is true?
○ king was warmly welcomed when he arrived in birmingham.
○ king did not want to cause a disruption by coming to birmingham.
○ king received criticism for his decision to come to birmingham.
○ king was abandoned by his supporters when he arrived in birmingham.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the context (likely related to Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birmingham campaign). King’s arrival in Birmingham for civil rights efforts faced criticism (from some, including clergy), so the option "King received criticism for his decision to come to Birmingham" aligns with historical context. Other options: "warmly welcomed" is incorrect (he faced opposition), "did not want to cause disruption" – his actions were to address injustice (disruption was a by - product of challenging unjust systems, not an avoidance), and "abandoned by supporters" – while he faced criticism, "abandoned" is too extreme and less supported than the criticism option.

Answer:

The correct option is the one with "King received criticism for his decision to come to Birmingham" (the second option from the left, with the blue dot indicating selection).
