Explanation:

To determine the correct options, we analyze the sample response and the student's response. The sample uses persuasive techniques (loaded language, bandwagon), includes examples (specific words, "the people..."), and has a statement on effectiveness ("achieve his goal...", "effectively uses..."). The student's response mentions persuasive elements (making attack tragic, showing why to fight), examples (date, unprovoked attacks), and a statement on effectiveness (works well to get Americans fired up, turning shock into drive). So all three options apply.

Answer:

• persuasive techniques used
• examples from the speech
• a statement about effectiveness
