Brief Explanations:

En este discurso, Martin Luther King Jr. utiliza las metáforas de "check" y "promissory note" para hacer una analogía con los derechos que se le deben a los ciudadanos de color. La "promissory note" representa la promesa de los derechos inalienables (vida, libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad) que se les debía a todos los estadounidenses, incluyendo a los negros. Al decir que han venido a "cash a check", está sugiriendo que están reclamando lo que les corresponde, es decir, los derechos que se les han negado. No es sobre enseñar una lección financiera (A), ni dar información económica (C) ni sugerir cómo perseguir el sueño americano (D), sino sobre reclamar lo debido.
