Question

\and so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. my fellow citizens of the world: ask not what america will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.\ why was this excerpt from kennedys inaugural address so memorable? it reminded people of what world war ii meant. it continued the thrust of the eisenhower administration. it inspired people to recall their sense of patriotism and participation. it let the world know that america was there to help.

Explanation:

Kennedy's words "ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country" and "ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man" are powerful calls to action. They inspire a sense of patriotism (for Americans) and a sense of global participation (for citizens of the world). The first option about World War II is not relevant as the excerpt doesn't reference that. The second option about continuing Eisenhower's thrust is incorrect as Kennedy was presenting a new vision. The fourth option is too narrow as it's not just about America helping but a mutual effort.

Answer:

It inspired people to recall their sense of patriotism and participation.
