what is kennedys purpose in including references
to the division of families in his speech?
to boost morale and confidence among
his audience
to make an emotional appeal to his
audience
to appeal to his audiences logic
to show his audience where
communism has succeeded

Explanation:

When a speaker references the division of families, it is a highly emotional topic. Emotional appeals (pathos in rhetorical terms) aim to connect with the audience's feelings. Boosting morale (while possible) is more about encouragement in a general sense of strength rather than the specific emotional tug of family division. Appealing to logic (logos) would involve facts and reasoning. Showing where communism succeeded is not relevant as the division of families due to the Berlin Wall was a negative aspect (from a Western, anti - communist perspective). Family division is an emotional issue.

Answer:

to make an emotional appeal to his audience
