Read the excerpt from "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."

Today we honor a wise teacher, an inspiring leader, and a true visionary, but to truly honor Dr. King we must do more than say words of praise.

We must learn his lessons and put his views into practice, so that we may truly be free at last.

Based on this passage, the reader can conclude that one purpose of Chavez’s speech is to

show people the specific ways in which Dr. King contributed to society.
convince people that Dr. King really was as great as others say he was.
urge people to follow in Dr. King’s footsteps in the fight against injustices.
show people that their views of freedom are the same as Dr. King’s views.

urge people to follow in Dr. King’s footsteps in the fight against injustices.

Reason: Chavez says we must "learn his lessons and put his views into practice," which calls listeners to act on Dr. King's example rather than just praise him.
