Question

select the correct text in the passage.
which sentence in this excerpt from walking with the wind: a memoir of the movement uses figurative language as an implicit persuasive device?
in some parts of the south we work in the fields from sunup to sundown for $12 a week. in albany, georgia, nine of our leaders have been indicted not by dixiecrats but by the federal government for peaceful protest. but what did the federal government do when albanys deputy sheriff beat attorney c. b. king and left him half dead? what did the federal government do when local police officials kicked and assaulted the pregnant wife of slater king, and she lost her baby?
it seems to me that the albany indictment is part of a conspiracy on the part of the federal government and local politicians in the interest of expediency.
i want to know, which side is the federal government on?
the revolution is at hand, and we must free ourselves of the chains of political and economic slavery.

Explanation:

To determine the sentence with figurative language as persuasive device, analyze each:

• "The revolution is at hand, and we must free ourselves of the chains of political and economic slavery." uses "chains" as a metaphor (figurative) to represent constraints of political/economic oppression, implicitly persuading by evoking the idea of breaking free from slavery - like bonds. Other sentences are factual or rhetorical questions without figurative language.

Answer:

The revolution is at hand, and we must free ourselves of the chains of political and economic slavery.
