Answer:

D

Explanation:

Read this excerpt.

I must close now. But before closing I am impelled to mention one other point in your statement that troubled me profoundly. You warmly commended the Birmingham police force for keeping “order” and “preventing violence.” I don’t believe you would have so warmly commended the police force if you had seen its angry violent dogs literally biting six unarmed, nonviolent Negroes. I don’t believe you would so quickly commend the policemen if you would observe their ugly and inhuman treatment of Negroes here in the city jail; if you would watch them push and curse old Negro women and young Negro girls; if you would see them slap and kick old Negro men and young Negro boys; if you will observe them, as they did on two occasions, refuse to give us food because we wanted to sing our grace together. I’m sorry that I can’t join you in your praise for the police department.

In his “Letter from Birmingham City Jail,” how does Martin Luther King, Jr. connect the public and private actions of the police?


They are both meant to avoid punishment.


They are both meant to show nonviolence.


They are both meant to earn commendation.


They are both meant to preserve segregation.

Is it fair to prevent them from exploring self-expression by making them wear uniforms? By taking away a student’s right to choose what to wear, we also take away the opportunity to express ourselves.

Which statements are supported by the article and reinforce an argument for online learning?

1 Online learning can lower the dropout rate.

2 Online learning can provide an alternative to high school enrollment.

3 Online learning prevents students from being disruptive.

4 Online learning draws new students.

5 Online learning can lead to increased state funding.

6 Online learning boosts SAT scores.


Some districts and states are embracing online learning as a so-called “disruptive innovation,” in which difficult circumstances force organizations to use tactics that go against traditional approaches or transform them. In the Detroit area, for instance, a local district with a high dropout rate and declining enrollment opened a cyber high school, which is aimed at helping lure dropouts and at-risk students into the district and get them back on track to graduate. The new virtual program has helped draw in new students, increasing enrollment and the state funding that follows students.
