Read the excerpt from "Choice: A Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” by Alice Walker.

His voice you would recognize sooner than any other voice you have heard in this century—this in spite of the fact that certain municipal libraries, like the one in downtown Jackson, do not carry recordings of his speeches, and the librarians chuckle cruelly when asked why they do not.

What does the alliteration in this excerpt emphasize?

the distinct quality of King’s voice, which can be heard in recordings
the public interest in hearing King’s voice
the heartlessness of people who want to keep King’s voice hidden
the rarity of recordings of King’s voice

The alliteration in "chuckle cruelly" highlights the librarians' cruel, mocking attitude toward denying access to his recordings.
