• B. Has been imitated by many of Kings followers
• C. Had a profound impact on many Americans
• D. Was typical of Kings thought as a whole
• E. Questioned the ethical beliefs of many Americans

Answer 1

The correct option is C Had a profound impact on many Americans

Both the given passages use adjectives like 'magnificent' and 'famous' with respect to Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream Speech". The first passage claims, "Many people can still remember the first time they heard I Have a Dream, and they tend to speak of that memory with the reverence reserved for a religious experience." while the second concurs with, "For most Americans, those words capture Kings unique genius. They express his immortal longing for freedom, a longing that is familiar to every person who dares imagine a future beyond unjust laws and unfair customs. The edifying universality of those four words who hasn't dreamed, and who cannot identify with people whose dreams of a better world are punished with violence helps to explain their durability." In this context, we can deduce that King's I Had A Dream Speech had a profound impact on Americans. option C is the best answer.
