the phrase \we cannot be satisfied\ is used primarily to —
○ show frustration
○ stress ongoing injustice
○ introduce solutions
○ reject compromise

Explanation:

For the first question: Ethos focuses on credibility, moral character, and ethical values. When King calls for dignity and discipline, he emphasizes upholding moral integrity, which aligns with establishing and reinforcing ethical appeal (ethos). Logos is logical appeal, kairos is timing, and irony is not a rhetorical appeal in this context.
For the second question: In Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, the repetition of "We cannot be satisfied" highlights that unaddressed systemic injustices (like segregation, police brutality, and economic inequality) persist, making the primary purpose stressing ongoing injustice rather than just frustration, introducing solutions, or rejecting compromise.

Answer:

First question: ethos
Second question: stress ongoing injustice
