In "Letter from Birmingham Jail," King cites T. S. Eliot's observation about doing "the right deed for the wrong reason." How does Eliot's observation apply to actions that

King describes in his letter?

a. It applies to the "Negro sit inners and demonstrators" who show amazing

discipline in their nonviolent protests, even when they face great

provocation.

b. It applies to those Birmingham police officers who show restraint in

handling the demonstrators in public but treat them very harshly in the

privacy of the city jail.

C. It applies to the seventy-two-year-old African American woman who

supports the boycott of Montgomery’s segregated bus system even

though she is tired and oppressed.

d. It applies to those Birmingham police officers who use legal, nonviolent

means to handle demonstrators in public but do so to maintain the

injustice of racial discrimination.
