Which statement best reflects how martin luther king, jr. uses rhetoric and style in paragraph 9 of "letter from a birmingham jail" to assist him in advocating the use of nonviolent direct action to achieve justice for negro citizens in birmingham? click here to read the letter. a)he combines details and indisputable facts with hyperbole and understatement to demonstrate the complexities of attempting to unify forces in order to promote change among opposing groups of citizens. b)he illustrates the issue by use of a paradox—something that has held its citizens in bondage is contrasted with the freedom that will ultimately produce a new understanding of each other's trials. c)he repeats its expected results—economic hardship for the business community of a city—so readers will be reminded that it often takes such dramatic methods to directly cause changes in group behavior. d)he creates a reassuring tone by reminding the pastors of the common text from which they derive their worldview, which ultimately lessens tension and leads to constructive negotiation.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
