In a speech about voting trends, Michael cited recent statistics, but made no attempt to appeal to the audience's sense of patriotism or to encourage them to vote more regularly. What's Michael's general purpose of his speech? a. to persuade b. to inform c. to motivate d. to entertain

B is the answer.

Explanation:

First, it is necessary to summarize the main idea: Michael cited recent statistics with no appeal to the audience.

Options A and C ar incorrect because to persuade or motivate, it is necessary to appeal to the audience in some way, in this case, the patriotic feeling would be a good fit, but Michael did not take advantage of it.

Option D is also incorrect because of the context (it seems to be an election.)

Finally, option B is the correct answer because he wanted to inform the audience about the statistics and trends.

"fire and ice" is one of robert frost's most popular poems. it was published in december 1920 in harper's magazine and in 1923 in his pulitzer prize−winning book new hampshire. it discusses the end of the world, likening the elemental force of fire with the emotion of desire, and ice with hate.

c. the power of desire is greater than the power of hate.
