Question

this excerpt is from a presidential speech given in 2009. we were born out of revolution against an empire. we were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal, and we have shed blood and struggled for centuries to give meaning to those words.... we are shaped by every culture, drawn from every end of the earth, and dedicated to a simple concept: e pluribus unum: \out of many, one.\ - president barack h. obama based on the excerpt and your knowledge of u.s. history, which line from the speech best explains the meaning of the motto \e pluribus unum\? a \we were born out of revolution against an empire.\ b \we were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal....\ c \we have shed blood and struggled for centuries to give meaning to those words.\ d \we are shaped by every culture, drawn from every end of the earth....\

Explanation:

The motto "E pluribus unum" means "Out of many, one." The line "We are shaped by every culture, drawn from every end of the Earth..." shows that the country is made up of many different cultures (the "many") but is united as one nation (the "one"). Option A is about the revolution against an empire, which is not related to the meaning of the motto. Option B is about the ideal of equality, not about unity from diversity. Option C is about the struggle to give meaning to the words of equality, not about the motto's meaning.

Answer:

D. "We are shaped by every culture, drawn from every end of the Earth. . . ."
