Explanation:

For question 3:

• In "Letter from Birmingham Jail", King criticizes the Birmingham police officers. They use legal, non - violent means (right deed) in public, but their intention is to maintain racial discrimination (wrong reason).
• The first option about different treatment in public and private is not about "right deed for wrong reason".
• The third option is about a person's support despite hardship, not related to the concept.
• The fourth option is about the discipline of protesters, not about the "right deed - wrong reason" concept.

For question 4:

• In the letter, King was disappointed with the white church leadership because they did not boldly support civil rights.
• There is no mention of misusing donations in the context.
• The focus is on the church's lack of support for civil rights, not on being absorbed in secular concerns (in a general sense not related to civil rights as per the letter).
• There is no indication that the church had nothing to offer the youth in the relevant context of the letter.

Answer:

1. It applies to those Birmingham police officers who use legal, nonviolent means to handle demonstrators in public but do so to maintain the injustice of racial discrimination.
2. King believes that the leaders have not stood up boldly in support of civil rights.
