    Excerpt from The Art of War by Sun Tzu When you do battle, even if you are winning, if you continue for a long time it will dull your forces and blunt your edge; if you besiege a citadel, your strength will be exhausted. If you keep your armies out in the field for a long time, your supplies will be insufficient. When your forces are dulled, your edge is blunted, your strength is exhausted, and your supplies are gone, then others will take advantage of your debility and rise up. Then even if you have wise advisors you cannot make things turn out well in the end. Therefore, I have heard of military operations that were clumsy but swift, but I have never seen one that was skillful and lasted a long time. 1. According to the selection, why has "besieging a citadel" been described as an act that will "dull your forces” and “blunt your edge"?
    Such a powerful action can create momentary weakness
    Soldiers are incapable of sustaining their victory
    The act of siege is unstoppable
    True shows of strength are rare and worthy of honor

    Excerpt from “Letter from Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King, Jr. My Dear Fellow Clergymen: While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities “unwise and untimely.” Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statements in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. 2. Based on the paragraph, what does the author mean when he uses the word “sought”?
    strived
    inclination
    cared
    conclusive
