Question

select the text from the paragraph that best helps you understand that posterity means future generations. there may be more than one correct choice. while other civil rights groups at the time were willing to use \any means necessary\ to bring about change, dr. king was an advocate of nonviolent action. he encouraged peaceful protest and was even awarded a nobel peace prize at the strikingly young age of thirty - five. sadly, dr. king was killed in 1968. still, his message of equal rights for all people and his teachings of peace live on in posterity; in the years since, americans have continued to work towards his dream.

Explanation:

To understand that "posterity" means future generations, we look for the text that connects the idea of something continuing into the future. The phrase "in the years since, Americans have continued to work towards his dream" comes right after the mention of his message and teachings living on in posterity. This shows that the time after his death (future relative to his time) is when people continued his work, so this text helps clarify that posterity refers to future generations.

Answer:

in the years since, Americans have continued to work towards his dream
