Option 3: "created equal"

Explanation: This option directly quotes the text, specifically from King's speech, which states that all men are 'created equal.' This phrase encapsulates the core message of the civil rights movement and aligns perfectly with the context of the text.

Option 1: "made rich"

Explanation: This option does not align with the context of the text, which emphasizes equality rather than wealth. The phrase 'made rich' is not mentioned or implied in the text, making it irrelevant.

Option 2: "entitled to happiness"

Explanation: While the concept of happiness is related to equality, the text specifically refers to equality in terms of rights and treatment, not happiness. Therefore, this option does not accurately reflect the main idea presented.

Option 4: "considered migrants"

Explanation: This option is unrelated to the text's focus on civil rights and equality. The term 'migrants' does not appear in the text and does not connect to the themes discussed, making it an incorrect choice.
