1.As far as I was concerned, Malcolm was not a civil rights leader.
2.What Malcolm X represented were the seeds of something different, something that would eventually creep into the movement itself and split it apart.
3.. To his credit, he preached personal independence and responsibility, self-discipline and self-reliance.
4. But he also urged the black man to fight back in self-defense—"by any means necessary," as he famously put it. And I just could not accept that.

PLEASE PICK 1

Respuesta :

I'd go for 4 when he says "by any means necessary" because Thoreau believed in fighting only when needed. he believed in using less violence but only using it if necessary. so that can be best suggested in option 4.

The last sentence is more or less what Thoreau advocated, except that Thoreau believed deeply in civil disobedience. Thoreau would NEVER have consented to use just any method of opposition to gain an end. He would never advocate violence. So, with regrets, you would not be able to pick D.

One is not even factually correct. Malcolm X was a civil rights leader, just not the same kind of leader as Martin Luther King or Jackson. Malcolm X just didn't rule out violence as a way of getting what he wanted.

(2) is a statement of historical opinion, even if it is true. It is probably your second best answer.

(3) is the actual answer. It sounds exactly like Thoreau. How you would know that is another question.
