Read the excerpt from "Damon and Pythias." Narrator: When Pythias was brought before the king, he showed no fear. He stood straight and quiet before the throne.

King: (Hard, cruel) So, Pythias! They tell me you do not approve of the laws I make.

Pythias: I am not alone, your majesty, in thinking your laws are cruel. But you rule the people with such an iron hand that they dare not complain.

King: (Angry) But you have the daring to complain for them! Have they appointed you their champion?

Pythias: No, your majesty. I speak for myself alone. I have no wish to make trouble for anyone. But I am not afraid to tell you that the people are suffering under your rule. They want to have a voice in making the laws for themselves. You do not allow them to speak up for themselves.

King: In other words, you are calling me a tyrant! Well, you shall learn for yourself how a tyrant treats a rebel! Soldier! Throw this man into prison!

Which detail best supports the inference that the king is afraid that his people will rise up against him?

"In other words, you are calling me a tyrant!"

"Well, you shall learn for yourself how a tyrant treats a rebel!"

"Have they appointed you their champion?"

"They tell me you do not approve of the laws I make."

Read the excerpt from martin luther king jr.’s "i have a dream” speech. and so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of new hampshire. let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of new york. let freedom ring from the heightening alleghenies of pennsylvania. let freedom ring from the snow-capped rockies of colorado. let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of california. but not only that: let freedom ring from stone mountain of georgia. let freedom ring from lookout mountain of tennessee. let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of mississippi. from every mountainside, let freedom ring. the most likely reason king uses allusions in this part of his speech is to share his knowledge of american geography. compare northern and southern destinations. remind listeners about small-town accountability. encourage listeners to envision freedom everywhere.
