Question

30 multiple choice 1 point president kennedy’s purpose in giving this speech was to appeal to congress and the american people to support nasa and the space program. how does kennedy develop this purpose in the speech? he speaker appeals directly to the audience and states his purpose, then he explains why his purpose is a good one. the speaker explains what he is asking for and why he is asking it, then concludes with a direct appeal to the audience. the speaker provides a reason for the appeal, then directly appeals to the audience, then adds more details about what he is asking. the speaker makes his appeal, then addresses multiple counterarguments against the appeal.

Explanation:

To determine how Kennedy develops his purpose, we analyze the structure of persuasive speeches. Kennedy's space program speech typically explains the request (support for NASA/space program) and the reasons (e.g., Cold War competition, scientific progress), then concludes with a direct appeal to Congress and the public. The second option matches this: explaining what is asked and why, then a direct appeal. Other options misalign: the first skips the concluding appeal structure, the third's order (reason → appeal → details) isn't typical, and the fourth introduces counterarguments not central to this speech's structure.

Answer:

The speaker explains what he is asking for and why he is asking it, then concludes with a direct appeal to the audience.
