part b which sentence from \i have a dream\ best supports the answer to part a
○ we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
○ five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the emancipation proclamation
○ you have been the veterans of creative suffering. continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
○ we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.

Explanation:

• Part A: In "I Have a Dream," Dr. King was advocating for an end to racial discrimination and injustice. The phrase "the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight" is a metaphor for rectifying the unjust and discriminatory situations (racial discrimination and injustice). The other options are either too narrow (choosing judges based on merits, fair elections) or not the main theme (punishing oppressors) compared to the over - arching theme of ending racial injustice.
• Part B: The sentence "[W]e will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood" supports the idea of ending racial discord (which is a form of racial injustice) and creating a harmonious (non - discriminatory) society. The other sentences are about different aspects such as opportunity ("insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity"), historical events ("Emancipation Proclamation"), and continuing work with faith ("veterans of creative suffering") and do not directly support the end of racial discrimination and injustice.

Answer:

• Part A: Racial discrimination and injustice will finally end.
• Part B: [W]e will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
