Question

why does peltier use the problem - and - solution text structure within her \u.n. water protector speech\?

• to convince her audience that action needs to be taken to improve the access that certain communities have to suitable water supplies
• to show the events that have contributed to limited water access in manitou island
• to convince her audience that the prime minister is not listening to her concerns about clean drinking water in canada
• to describe the importance of water in different indigenous communities across canada

Explanation:

A problem - solution text structure is typically used to present an issue and then propose a way to address it. In the context of a “U.N. Water Protector Speech”, the goal of using this structure would be to highlight a problem (like inadequate access to suitable water supplies in certain communities) and then persuade the audience that action is needed to solve it. The first option aligns with this purpose as it focuses on convincing the audience to take action to improve access to suitable water supplies. The second option is about showing events related to limited water access on Manitou Island, which is more of a descriptive or informative purpose rather than problem - solution. The third option is about convincing the audience that the Prime Minister is not listening, which is more of a persuasive argument about a different topic (the Prime Minister's responsiveness) rather than a problem - solution related to water. The fourth option is about describing the importance of water in indigenous communities, which is descriptive rather than problem - solution.

Answer:

A. to convince her audience that action needs to be taken to improve the access that certain communities have to suitable water supplies
