It looks as if you need to read/reread it.

Then reread it -- keeping these four items in mind.
Answered by Mackenzie
Can you tell me which two is not the answer..so like 3 and what other?...
Answered by Writeacher
1. This was in reference to the Governor of Georgia: "I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification ... "

Are you sure you read this? And understand it? I don't know how anyone who has read it can't choose the three obviously wrong answers.

Scour that text ... think ... let us know what you find.

Is it number 1?
Answered by Writeacher
Absolutely not. I gave you that example so you'd know one thing that was <b>IN</b> the speech.

Are you clear on the question? Three of those things are referred to IN the speech. One is not. Which one is not?
Answered by Mackenzie
You don't have to be so rude....

I'm not intending to be rude. I know that these "NOT" questions are almost always badly phrased, and I'm wondering if the "NOT" aspect of this is what's getting in your way.
Answered by Mackenzie
That's the reason i posted it, it because it was confusing me...but i understand now..

Rephrase the question in your mind:

Which three of the following ideas are included in Rev. King's speech?
Answered by Mackenzie
Numbers 1-3.
Answered by Writeacher
#3 is referring to this: "And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and that day when every city, we will be able to speed up <b>all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics,</b> will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'"
