Question

closely read these two paragraphs from kings letter. for years now i have heard the word \wait!\ it rings in the ear of every negro with piercing familiarity. this \wait\ has almost always meant
ever.\ we must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that \justice too long delayed is justice denied.\ we have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and god - given rights... but we stiff creep at horse - and - buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter... which of the following best describes kings answer to the leaders who call for patience? he questions whether waiting will produce results. he thinks that waiting 340 years for his constitutional rights has strengthened his cause. he believes that patience will result in justice. done

Explanation:

King emphasizes that "Wait" has often meant "Never" and that justice delayed is justice denied. He questions the efficacy of waiting as it has not led to progress. The mention of waiting 340 years and still moving slowly shows he doubts waiting will produce results. The second option is incorrect as waiting hasn't strengthened the cause (they are still creeping slowly). The third option is wrong as he doesn't believe patience (waiting) will result in justice (he says justice delayed is denied).

Answer:

He questions whether waiting will produce results.
