Read the following excerpt from a speech made by a national leader during
wartime:
It has been a difficult few weeks. Progress has been slow.
But there have been promising signs. I encourage you not
to look at what has been, but what is to come, because
with your dedication at home and our soldiers' dedication
in the field, things are beginning to turn around.
Which is one likely purpose of the speech, based on the excerpt above?
A. To persuade citizens to sacrifice more
B. To challenge citizens who oppose the war
C. To provide hope for citizens
D. To explain a difficult decision

Sagot :

C. To provide hope for the citizens.

The leader talks about encouragement and promising signs, also saying things are turning around. It isn't D as there is no decision needed to be made, not B as there is nothing boasting about the greatness of war, and not A, as it isn't persuading anyone to do more, it's just telling them not to lose hope.
