Read the following paragraph: "Although I have suffered the loss of two family members by assassination, I remain firmly and unequivocally opposed to the death penalty for those convicted of capital offenses.[[ An evil deed is not redeemed by an evil deed of retaliation]]. Justice is never advanced in the taking of a human life. Morality is never upheld by legalized murder. Morality apart, there are a number of practical reasons which form a powerful argument against capital punishment."

Which of the following is NOT a reason King uses to support her thesis/controlling idea? (the story is above and I have put brackets around the thesis)

A. First, capital punishment makes irrevocable any possible miscarriage of justice.

B. Second, the death penalty reflects an unwarranted assumption that the wrongdoer is beyond rehabilitation.

C. The only way to break the chain of violent reaction is to practice nonviolence as individuals and collectively through our laws and institutions.

D. Although I have suffered the loss of two family members by assassination, I remain firmly and unequivocally opposed to the death penalty for those convicted of capital offenses.
