Explanation:

"The Man Who Coined 'Genocide' Spent His Life Trying To Stop It" is an article that talks about the life of Raphael Lemkin. Raphael Lemkin was the one who coined the term 'genocide' in 1943. The term genocide is a combination of a Greek and a Latin word. 'Genos' in Greek means 'race or family' and 'cidere' in Latin means killing. Lemkin had extensive knowledge of seven languages so he had to come up with a word that would perfectly justify the crime of mass killing of a race. Lemkin coined the term and fought till his last breath to give 'genocide' a recognition of crime and a punishable offense. Though the word 'genocide' is widely accepted today as a crime much effort has been put behind to make this word be recognized as a crime by Lemkin. While he was struggling to make this word a crime 49 members of his own family became the victim of it in the Holocaust, which made his determination even stronger.

So, the correct answer is option C.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.
