Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions that follow:

PASSAGE

“I Have a Dream” is a speech delivered by an American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on
Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, in which he called for an end to racism in the United States and
called for civil and economic rights. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
in Washington, D.C, the speech was a defining moment of civil rights movement.
Beginning with a reference to the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed millions of slaves in 1863, King observes
that: “One hundred years later, the Negro still is not free’’. Toward the end of the speech, King departed from his prepared
text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme “I have a dream” prompted by Mahalia Jackson’s cry: “Tell them
about the dream, Martin!” In this part of the speech, which most excited the listeners and has now become its most
famous, King described his dreams of freedom and equality arising from a land of slavery and hatred. Jon Meacham writes
that “With a single phrase, Martin Luther King Jr. joined Jefferson and Lincoln in the ranks of men who’ve shaped modern
America”. The speech was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century in a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.
