○ is thankful for the freedoms he has gained.
○ feels that equal opportunities are within reach.
○ strongly supports the idea of deferring the fight to a later time.
○ actively advocates the idea of fighting for equal treatment.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes' I Dream A World is a hopeful vision of an equal future, while Democracy takes a more urgent, active tone. In Democracy, Hughes rejects delaying the fight for equality and argues that justice cannot wait, directly pushing for immediate action to secure equal treatment. The other options are incorrect: he does not express gratitude for existing freedoms, does not frame equality as easily attainable, and explicitly opposes deferring the fight.

Answer:

D. actively advocates the idea of fighting for equal treatment.
