Question

what simile is used to show that black americans were not getting what they were promised in the declaration of independence?
○ it is like a check that has not been cashed
○ it is like a crowd that will not be silenced
○ it is like a stream of water
○ it is like a fire that cannot be extinguished

Explanation:

The simile "It is like a check that has not been cashed" is used to show that Black Americans were not getting the rights and freedoms promised in the Declaration of Independence, just as a check that isn't cashed means the promised value (money, in this analogy, rights/freedom) isn't received. The other options don't relate to the unfulfilled promises of the Declaration for Black Americans.

Answer:

A. It is like a check that has not been cashed
