This is the third paragraph: "Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws, and with it I would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors I judge; and here I will begin to mine." Of the following, which would be the best addition to the development of the third paragraph?
A.
the name of the “stream [he] go[es] a-fishing in”
B.
a narrative of his earliest childhood memory regarding “the intellect”
C.
the name of a specific creature with a “snout and fore paws”
D.
an exploration of the sentence, “My head is hands and feet”
E.
an explanation of where he “will begin to mine”

How does the allusion to the boston tea party reinforce king’s argument about civil disobedience? by citing an example of civil disobedience by everyday people, king shows that civil disobedience can be necessary and productive. by using an example of civil disobedience that took place in the past, king shows that civil disobedience is no longer necessary. by using an example of civil disobedience that took place in the north, king shows that the southern states have not used civil disobedience effectively. by using an example of a “massive act of civil disobedience,” king shows that the demonstrations in alabama are not as large and disruptive as his critics think.
