Answer:
King's claim in this passage is that a "determined legal and nonviolent pressure" must be mounted to end segregation in Birmingham.
Explanation:
A claim is an assertion or a statement that something or an event is correct as stated. A claim may not be true. It is therefore subject to proof. That is why claims usually require evidence to substantiate them. For instance, in preparing a set of financial statements, the principal officers (the chief executive and the chief financial officers) make assertions (claims) that the information presented therein is factual, fair, and truthful, etc. Such assertions remain mere claims until they are proved to be true. This is why external auditors, who are supposedly, independent of the management of the company, are expected to confirm or disconfirm such claims before the financial statements can be relied upon for any decision.
Answer: inferred
An inferred meaning is one that is not explicitly stated by the author, but that is hinted at throughout a passage. This is usually done through the use of various rhetorical and literary devices, such as characterization, symbols, motifs, setting and mood.
Explanation:
The question is about Sam Watson, a character from the novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.
This novel is filled with vernacular language, as a part of the setting of the story.
Questioning means doubting a validity of something, demanding a proof, querying.
Sam Watson, in this particular situation, used the term "questionizin" as a synonim for "asking" ("Ah'm questionizin' you!")
Although both words have the same root (question) their meanings slightly differ, as shown, but in spite of that difference, Sam's sentence can be understood in a proper context.
