Question

The question asks about a specific quote attributed to Malcolm X regarding self-defense and how he characterizes the act in that context.
Option 1: 'survival' — While self-defense can be framed as a means of survival, the famous phrasing attributed to Malcolm X uses a different noun to emphasize a particular interpretation rather than a generic threat-to-life label. This choice reflects a plausible but incorrect paraphrase of the original quote.
Option 2: 'intelligence' — This is the historically accurate completion of the quote: he says he doesn’t call it violence when in self-defense, he calls it intelligence. The reasoning behind this is that he reframes self-defense as a strategic, prudent response rather than aggression, aligning with his broader critique of how violence is perceived. This is the correct option.
Option 3: 'practical' — While self-defense can be described as practical in some contexts, this term does not match the exact historical wording and thus mislabels the intended rhetorical emphasis Malcolm X used to distinguish self-defense from mere violence.
Option 4: 'effective' — Describing self-defense as effective could be argued conceptually, but it does not capture the specific lexicon Malcolm X used in the quote. It also shifts the focus from a portrait of intelligence and strategy to outcome, which deviates from the original phrasing.
In summary, option 2 aligns with the well-known quotation and its intended reinterpretation of self-defense as intelligence rather than violence, while the other options do not match the exact wording or the nuance Malcolm X conveyed.

Malcolm X argues that while he doesn't advocate violence, he is not against the use of violence in self-defense, stating "I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense, I call it ___________________."单项选择题
