Question

1. what are most likely the audience’s aims when listening to a speech by julian assange, leader of wikileaks?

to hear people slander julian assange
to be reminded of their happy school days
to hear something that validates their support of wikileaks
to hear something funny

Explanation:

Julian Assange is the leader of WikiLeaks. People listening to his speech are likely interested in matters related to WikiLeaks. The option "to hear people slander Julian Assange" is illogical as it's his own speech. "To be reminded of their happy school days" and "to hear something funny" are unrelated to the context of a WikiLeaks - related speech. The option "to hear something that validates their support of WikiLeaks" aligns with the idea that an audience supporting WikiLeaks would want their views validated by Assange's speech.

Answer:

C. to hear something that validates their support of Wikileaks
