$$\to dramatise a shameful condition\ldots\ldots\ldots I say \to you$$

today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths $\to be$ self-evident; that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able $\to sit down together at the table of$ brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of '$interposition^{\prime} and$ 'nullification^{\prime}, that one day \right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able \to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together". This is our hope. This is the faith that I will go back $\to the South$ with. With this faith, we will be able $\to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of$ hope. With this faith we will be able $\to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of$ brotherhood. With this faith we will be able $\to work$ together, $\to pray$ together, $\to struggle$ together, $\to go \to jail$ together, $\to stand up for freedom$ together, knowing that we will be free one day

nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississipp i. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet. from every state and every city, we will be able $\to speed up that day when all of$ God's children, black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able $\to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro$ spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" Choose the correct answer from the alternatives: The text is a/an ― by Dr. King.

10.Read the following text and answer the questions. [Unit- 12; Lesson- 2(New)] Greta Thunberg is an environmental activist. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2003. When she was eight, she started learning about climate change. The more she learned, the more baffled she became as $\to why so little was being done about$ it. At the age of 11, Greta became so sad about climate change that she temporarily stopped speaking! Greta has Asperger syndrome,, a condition that affects how people socialise. But Greta views her condition as a positive, calling it her "superpower"! She says it helps her see the world in black and white, and that there are "no grey areas when it comes $\to climate$ change." In August 2018, Greta decided $\to take$ action. Instead of going $\to$ school, she made a large sign that read 'Skolstrejk för Klimatet"; SCHOOL STRIKE FOR $CLIMATE^{\prime}, and calmly sat down outside the Swedish$ parliament. Her aim? $\to make politicians take notice and act \to stop global$ warming. Greta's strike was picked up by the Swedish media, and the word started $\to$ spread. Soon enough, tens of thousands of students from around the world joined her #FridaysforFuture strikes skipping school on Fridays $\to protest against climate$ change. In March 2019, climate campaigners across the world, and inspired by Greta, came together $\to co-ordinate the first Global Strike for$ Climate. Over 1.6 million people from 125 countries took part! Since her strike began, Greta's life has become a whirlwind! She's given rousing speeches $\to$ politicians, $\to the EU$ parliament, the UK parliament, $\to protesters and$ more. She's appeared in documentaries and had loads of books and articles written about her. She's even been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize! In August 2019, Greta travelled on a wind and solar-powered boat from Plymouth, UK, $\to New$ York, USA - the journey took 15 days.
