Question

29 multiple choice 1 point part b how does kennedy develop the central idea in part a? kennedy identifies new technologies used in homes and businesses daily which were invented by space program engineers and scientists. kennedy outlines the estimated costs of a mission to the moon, but also vividly describes what might occur if the soviets reach the moon first. kennedy identifies specific commitments americans must make and argues that without these commitments, the united states cannot succeed. kennedy describes the great successes of the american space program and contrasts those with the failures of the soviet program.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Focuses on tech from space program, not central to developing the main idea (likely about US space commitment).
• Option 2: Cost and Soviet race – but Kennedy’s central idea around US commitment to moon mission; outlining costs and Soviet scenario is not the main development.
• Option 3: Kennedy’s speeches (like moon mission) emphasize commitments (time, resources, effort) and argues US needs them to succeed. This aligns with developing the central idea of national commitment.
• Option 4: Contrasting US and Soviet space programs is inaccurate; Kennedy focused on US goals, not Soviet failures.

Answer:

Kennedy identifies specific commitments Americans must make and argues that without these commitments, the United States cannot succeed.
