Question

1. in gabriel garcia márquezs speech after winning the nobel prize for literature in 1982, he wanted to make his listeners feel a sense of wonder about the state of his homeland. how did he accomplish this through the tone and subject of his speech?

he told them all the terrible things corrupt leaders have done.
he talked about the variety found in the region.
he called them out for their own inaction.
he told them he believes a utopia is still possible.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Focusing on "terrible things" would likely evoke negative emotions, not wonder.
• Option 2: Talking about the variety in the region (culture, landscapes, stories) can create a sense of wonder about the homeland's richness.
• Option 3: Calling out inaction is confrontational, not wonder - inspiring.
• Option 4: A utopia - related message is more about hope for the future rather than wonder about the current state of the homeland.

So the option that best explains how he created a sense of wonder through tone and subject is the one about talking about the region's variety.

Answer:

B. He talked about the variety found in the region.
