what is jordan’s purpose in giving this speech?
a. to educate her audience about the value of \liberty and even life\
b. to urge her audience to form a
ational community\
c. to entertain her audience
d. to blast her opponents for not supporting her

Explanation:

To determine Jordan's speech purpose, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Educating about "liberty and even life" is too vague and not typical for a speech's main purpose here.
• Option B: Urging the audience to form a "national community" aligns with common speech goals of unity or collective action, making it plausible.
• Option C: Entertaining is unlikely as a primary purpose for a speech with such themes (liberty, community).
• Option D: Blasting opponents is negative and less likely to be a main purpose compared to promoting unity (Option B).

Answer:

B. to urge her audience to form a "national community"
