B

Explanation:

correct on edge

The question is missing the following excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail:”

Just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town.

To emphasize the morality of his cause

Explanation:

King wrote this letter while he was in prison for being a participant in a nonviolent demonstration against segregation. The letter was a response to the open letter “A Call for Unity” by eight white Alabama clergymen where they criticized demonstrations as a means to end segregation, told black people to be patient, and called King “an extremist.”

So, in the excerpt provided, King uses the allusion to the Apostle Paul to link the civil rights campaign's cause to the Christian traditions and emphasize the righteousness or morality of his cause and actions.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
