Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence best demonstrates the use of an emotional appeal in the adapted excerpt from John F. Kennedy's "Inaugural Address"? We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end as well as a beginning—signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you the same oath our forebears recommended nearly a century and three quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to remove all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs that our forebears fought for are still an issue in the world today; the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from our intended purpose. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans. Americans born in this century, changed by war, disciplined by peace, proud of our heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
