Explanation:

Question 1 (PART A)

To identify the central idea, we analyze each option. Option A states Americans celebrate Dr. King for leading equality efforts, which aligns with his role in civil rights. Option B focuses on awards, not central. Option C overgeneralizes social change. Option D is about a speech prediction, not central. So A is best.

For Part A's answer (A), we need a phrase supporting his role in equality. Option A is about Nobel Prize, not support. Option B is about non - violence, not directly. Option C ("They got the right to sit anywhere in the bus") shows a result of his efforts for equality, supporting the central idea of creating equality. Option D is about reflection, not support. So C is correct.

We analyze how Dr. King created change. Option A says he used leadership, speeches, and non - violent protests (boycotts, marching), which matches his methods. Option B says writing to politicians, which is not his main method. Option C says protests leading to riots, but he was non - violent. Option D misrepresents the bus boycott. So A is correct.

Answer:

A. Americans celebrate Dr. King because he led people to create equality.
