Unit-6 (Q 22-26) practice exercises: (Correct the sentences and rewrite them)
Exercise-1:
In life, every man has twin obligations — obligations to his
family, to his parents, to his wife and children; and he has an obligation to
his people, his community and his country. (22) In a civil and humane society,
each man is able to fulfil those obligations to according his own inclinations
and abilities. (23) But in a country like South Africa, it were almost
impossible for a man of my birth and colour to fulfil both of those
obligations. (24) In South Africa, a man of colour which attempted to live as a
human being was punished and isolated. (25) In South Africa, a man who tried to
fulfil his duty to his people was inevitably rip from his family and his home
and was forced to live a life apart, a twilight existence of secrecy and
rebellion. (26) I do not in the beginning choose to place my people above my
family, but in attempting to serve my people, I found that I was prevented from
fulfilling my obligations as a son, a brother, a father and a husband.

Exercise-2:
I was not born with a hunger to be free. (22)
I born free — free in every way that I could know. (23) Free to run in the
fields near my mothers hut, free to swim in the clear stream that ran through
my village, free to roast mealies under the stars and ride the broad backs of
slow-moving bulls. (24) As long as I obeyed my father and abided by the customs
of my tribe, I was not trouble by the laws of man or God.
(25) It was only who I began to learn that my boyhood freedom was
an illusion, when I discovered as a young man that my freedom had already been
taken from me, that I began to hunger for it. (26) At first, as a student, I
freedom wanted only for myself, the transitory freedoms of being able to stay
out at night, read what I pleased and go where I chose. Later, as a young man
in Johannesburg, I yearned for the basic and honourable freedoms of achieving
my potential, of earning my keep, of marrying and having a family — the freedom
not to be obstructed in a lawful life.

Exercise-3:
Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, Mr. President, Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
(22) I accept the Nobel Prize for Peace at a moment who 22 million
Negroes of the United States of America are engaged in a creative battle to end
the long night of racial injustice. (23) I accept award this on behalf of a
civil rights movement which is moving with determination and a majestic scorn
for risk and danger to establish a reign of freedom and a rule of justice. (24)
I are mindful that only yesterday in Birmingham, Alabama, our children, crying
out for brotherhood, were answered with fire hoses, snarling dogs and even
death. (25) I am mindful that only yesterday in Philadelphia, Mississippi,
young people seeking to secure the right in vote were brutalized and murdered. (26)
And only yesterday more than 40 houses of worship in the state of Mississippi
alone were bomb or burned because they offered a sanctuary to those who would
not accept segregation. I am mindful that debilitating and grinding poverty
afflicts my people and chains them to the lowest rung of the economic ladder.

Exercise-4:
I refuse to accept the cynical notion that
nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of
thermonuclear destruction. (22)I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional
love have will the final word in reality. (23) This is why ‘right’ temporary
defeated is stronger than evil triumphant. (24) I believe that even amid
today's mortar bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope of a brighter
tomorrow. (25) I believe that wounded justice, lying prostrate on the
blood-flowing streets of our nations, can be lift from this dust of shame to
reign supreme among the children of men. (26) I has the audacity to believe
that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education
and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their
spirits.
