Which of these excerpts from "the first seven years" by bernard malamud best exemplifies the desire to improve one's socioeconomic status?

he couldn't exactly recall when the thought had occurred to him, because it was clear he had more than once considered suggesting to the boy that he go out with miriam.

In the reading, statement on the assassination of martin luther king, jr., which of the following inferences is best supported by the second paragraph? martin luther king dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. he died in the cause of that effort. in this difficult day, in this difficult time for the united states, it’s perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. for those of you who are black—considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible—you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge. question 5 options: a) the speaker is urging the same non-violent response that was preached by the slain martin luther king, jr. b) the speaker doesn’t want people to be angry about the death of martin luther king, jr. c) the speaker is trying to encourage racial resentment. d) the speaker wishes he hadn’t been born an american citizen.
