Inaugural Address
by John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961 (excerpt)
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans-born in this
century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing
of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose
any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge-and more.
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host
of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

Select the correct answer.
Which statement best describes the persuasive strategy of the speaker?
ОА. The speaker passionately argues the idea that America needs to continue to grow.
B. The speaker ethically highlights the idea that America has pledged its loyalty to friends.
C. The speaker emotionally calls upon American citizens to be united in pursuit of ideals.
D. The speaker logically presents the idea that all Americans need to stand together.

Answer:

D. The speaker logically presents the idea that all Americans need to stand together.

Explanation:

I have chosen D because of the final sentence:

"United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder."

This sentence shows that united, we can do everything together. But divided, we can't do anything because we can't face something together and risk conflict.

I have looked at all the answers and read the passage well. They all seem to be logical. I have chosen D because I think it is the best answer.

Thank you for this opportunity. Good luck!

dress of the women of the people; she went each day to the grocer, the fruiterer, the butcher, carrying her basket on
her arm, bargaining, defending cent by cent her miserable money. (from "The Necklace," by Guy de Maupassant)

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Which excerpt from The Great Gatsby is the best example of foreshadowing?
. . . he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward — and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.
Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn’t even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You can’t stop going with an old friend on account of rumors, and on the other hand I had no intention of being rumored into marriage.
