Excerpt from a passage. "One of the most common forms of censorship in schools is banned books. Books have been challenged and then banned from schools and libraries for many
reasons: profane language, sexual or violent content, and religious or political views. Since 1982, various groups have sought to remove or restrict access to 11,300
books in our nation's schools and libraries (Crum, 2013). Some of these titles are works of noted literary merit, such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by
Mark Twain, Beloved by Toni Morrison, and The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger. Even the children's picture book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice
Sendak was challenged for being dark and disturbing (American Library Association, 2014). Organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
have fought banning books for a long time and have helped keep books like those mentioned above in our classrooms. Even so, both new and old books are
challenged and banned every year. Unfortunately, when books are not allowed in schools and libraries, students are denied the opportunity to learn from them."

"Books have been challenged and then banned from schools and libraries for many reasons: profane language, sexual or violent content, and religious or
political views."

Read the claim. human bodies have developed over time to support a vegetarian diet. which sentence provides the best supporting evidence for the claim? because humans have evolved over millions of years, it makes sense that our diet has evolved as well. i can feel the negative effects of meat and its excess vitamins when i consume meat products. the length of human intestines is better suited to digest food derived from plants than to digest meat. human taste buds have matured throughout history in a way that makes people crave the flavor of meat.

In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men—yes, black men as well as white men—would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check that has come back marked “insufficient funds.” but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. and so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and security of justice. in this section of the speech, analyze martin luther king’s connection between a defaulted promissory note and the lack of freedom experienced by african americans. which option offers the best analysis? question 3 options: mlk creates this analogy to communicate that america has enough freedom for all, but it needs to live up to its promises. mlk makes the analogy that america has run out of freedom. not everyone deserves to have it. mlk communicates that america should equally distribute funds to all citizens. everyone deserves equal access to the government’s money. mlk demonstrates that america is improving in equality and should keep the forward momentum.
