    Read the following passage and answer the questions.

    "I Have a Dream" is a public speech delivered by American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. during the march on Washington for jobs and freedom on August 28, 1963, in which he calls for an end to racism in the United States and called for civil and economic rights. Delivered to over 2,50,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the speech was a defining moment of the civil rights movement.

    Beginning with a reference to the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed millions of slaves in 1863, King observes that: "one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free".

    Towards the end of the speech, King departed from his prepared text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme "I have a dream", prompted by Mahalia Jackson's cry: "Tell them about the dream, Martin!" In this part of the speech, which most excited the listeners and has now become its most famous, King described his dreams of freedom and equality arising from a land of slavery and hatred. Jon Meacham writes that, "With a single phrase, Martin Luther King Jr. joined Jefferson and Lincoln in the ranks of men who've shaped modern America". The speech was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century in a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.

    Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.

    In 1279 BC, the realm of Egypt was under the autocratic rule of Pharaoh Ramses II, one of the most formidable leaders in Egyptian history. Known also as 'Ramses the Great', his rule saw significant military campaigns. Among them, the Battle of Kadesh stands out, fought against the Hittite Empire under Muwatalli II near the city of Kadesh on the Orontes River.

    The battle, believed to be the earliest in recorded history, found its genesis in the Pharaoh's fury over Hittite expansion into Syrian territories. With these territories viewed as part of his vassal states, Ramses II commanded a sizeable force to retake control. Muwatalli, resilient, countered with a similarly large force, setting the stage for a significant standoff.

    On the brink of battle, deceit was employed. The Hittites tricked Egyptian intelligence, claiming their forces were further off, fortifying their defensive postures. Yet, upon realizing this manipulation, the impassioned Egyptians launched a valiant offensive. Despite the odds, these forces battled to a stalemate, leading to a historic peace treaty, demonstrating the enduring human longing for peace amidst power dynamics.
