Read the excerpt from a speech petitioning people to adopt animals in need.

i am here today to persuade you to see the benefit of adopting your next pet from the animal shelter instead of purchasing it from a pet store. it is crucial to see the value in adopting animals and hopefully putting pet stores out of business. the health and well-being of our animal friends is what is at stake here. many people think it would be fun to get a cute designer animal from a boutique pet shop, but once we all know the truth behind their practices, we will be lining up at the shelter to fall in love with an animal in need. your new dog may not be a purebred dog with official papers and a customized small size, but you will know that your animal is healthy and eternally grateful that you provided him with a warm home.

which ideas from the excerpt would be most appropriate to include in a summary? select two options.

many people want a designer dog from a boutique.
animals bred through pet shops suffer health problems.
people need to adopt animals instead of going to pet shops.
many people have a warm home and like animals.
more people need to decide to have pets in their homes.

Second option: Animals bred through pet shops suffer health problems.

Third Option: People need to adopt animals instead of going to pet shops.

Explanation:

These two ideas best summarize the ideas presented in the excerpt. Speaker's main purpose is to persuade the audience not to buy animals from pet store instead adopt them from animal shelter, he (speaker) needs to give audience a reason why they should not buy from pet stores. This reason is provided in the second option i.e these animals suffer health problems. The third option is the conclusion and purpose of the speech. So this point too is required for summarizing the speech.

First and fourth options, although relevant, are less important when considering the purpose of the speech.

Fifth option is neither part of the speech, not speaker's purpose.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
