Question

Which quotation from Dr. King’s speech appeals to pathos?

“I think Bob Hope has adequately described this new jet age in which we live.”

“[T]he world in which we live is geographically one.”

Answer 1

“America is essentially a dream, a dream yet unfulfilled.”

This appeals to pathos because it evokes emotion and longing—using evocative language and repetition to arouse sympathy, hope, and a sense of injustice.
