Answer 1

Answer:

1. contribution

reason- it is the nominal form the verb contribute and is hence used appropriately herein

2. assistance

reason- it refers to providing help or being of importance for or towards something. in this context, it refers to Martin Luther King being able to establish himself as a prominent personality by assisting Rosa Parks.

3. subjugation

reason- it refers to the act of giving in or being dominated by an individual or a group. according to the passage, one would have to give in to the dominance asserted by the police on breaking of the laws.

4. humiliation

reason- it means to mock or to make fun of one. it refers to the police, once again, making fun of or intimidating those who broke laws

5. imprisonment

reason- the act of getting into jail or prison as a result of committing wrongdoings.

6. resistance

reason- it means not giving in or cracking up to oppression which is contrary to the word subjugation used earlier. Martin Luther King withstood racial injustice without being violent in protests and rather protested non- violently.

Hope this justification is valid and satisfactory :)
