Answer 3

If we are speaking in terms of being literal, I would say B as well. The rest are just metaphors and figurative language.

Answer 4

There is no actual "cup of endurance", therefore C is out. In A, he is comparing racial injustice/human dignity to quicksand, so that is out, too. For D, no men were actually plunged into an abyss of injustice. Leaving you with B.
