Last June 24th, my best friend of 24 years died of cancer. Two nights before she died, I spent about an hour with her—just the two of us. Her family, exhausted, had gone home, and I sat next to her hospital bed. I just wanted to be there. The last words I ever heard her say were, "What day is it?" I turned to the calendar on the wall and replied, "It’s June 22, 1998." She just nodded her head and went back to sleep. I’ve thought about that question of hers a lot since then. She taught me many things over the years. Yes, she was a school teacher as well, but of all the many words of good advice which still echo in my head, those particular words have given me the most to think about. What day is it? It is today. This is my final challenge to you before you graduate. Right now you have this moment, and it will never come again. Others will follow, but this one will only be here once. For which of the following audiences is a passage of this style and format appropriate?A. High school seniors
B. High school teachers
C. High school administrators
D. High school students' parents

How does the allusion to the boston tea party reinforce king’s argument about civil disobedience? by citing an example of civil disobedience by everyday people, king shows that civil disobedience can be necessary and productive. by using an example of civil disobedience that took place in the past, king shows that civil disobedience is no longer necessary. by using an example of civil disobedience that took place in the north, king shows that the southern states have not used civil disobedience effectively. by using an example of a “massive act of civil disobedience,” king shows that the demonstrations in alabama are not as large and disruptive as his critics think.
