he was speaking at a church in montgomery.
and he was saying, in effect, that we must not just be concerned about the purity of our own hands with milk and honey.

Explanation:

Part A

To determine Lewis's purpose, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: If Lewis is explaining how King inspired civil rights actions, this focuses on inspiration.
• Option 2: Contrasting with parents' views isn't indicated here.
• Option 3: Describing differing views on action isn't the focus.
• Option 4: Informing about unknown contributions is less likely than showing inspiration. The key is how King inspired Lewis's civil rights actions, so the first option is correct.

We need a quote that supports the idea of King inspiring Lewis. The quote "It seemed like he was saying to me, John Lewis, you, too, can make a contribution" directly shows King's inspiration for Lewis to act, matching the Part A answer.

Answer:

A. To explain how King inspired his own civil rights actions
