Read the excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech.
[1] I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation,
[2] Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great
beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity
[3] But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free; one hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of
discrimination; one hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity, one hundred years later, the Negro is
still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land.
[4] So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the
magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was the
promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Which word provides the best context clue to determine the meaning of "unalienable" in paragraph 4?
Shameful
Architects
Promise
Guaranteed
