Cevap

The correct answer is correct because nonviolent direct action was a deliberate, active strategy designed to disrupt discriminatory operations, expose systemic injustice, and create a crisis of tension that forced local and federal officials to negotiate.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the tactics of nonviolent direct action (boycotts, marches, sit-ins) used by the SCLC.
Recognized that these tactics were designed to disrupt normal operations and draw public attention to injustice.
Understanding the function of the tactics helps clarify their political purpose.
2
Contrast active nonviolence with passivity.
Determined that nonviolent resistance is an active, confrontational struggle rather than passive acceptance or submission.
This avoids the common misconception that nonviolence means non-action or compliance.

This links the actions to their intended outcome of legislative and social change.
