Read the following excerpt from President Jimmy Carter's inaugural address in 1976:
Two centuries ago our Nation's birth was a milestone in
the long quest for freedom, but the bold and brilliant dream
which excited the founders of this Nation still awaits its
consummation. I have no new dream to set forth today, but
rather urge a fresh faith in the old dream.
Why does Carter most likely use the word 'milestone?
A To focus on how far the nation has come since its founding
B. To suggest that the nation's birth was one in a long series of steps
C. To underscore how exciting the nation's creation was for the
founders
D. To imply that the nation's creation was an idea that has not yet
been truly realized

A. To focus on how far the nation has come since its founding

Explanation:

A milestone refers to a significant event in the life of a person or thing that marks a change from their previous status. For instance, marriage is a milestone, so also is moving out of your parent's house or having your first child.

After a milestone, a new chapter begins and it is this new chapter that President Carter was referring to. The U.S. began a new chapter when they got their freedom and President Carter is trying to bring attention to this to show how far the nation had come since its founding.

- "d.)  describe the iroquois belief of how the earth was created. for the iroquois, there was no reason to explain the importance of rituals. also, as animists, they didn't need a special elaboration as to why animals are important or why they had a crucial role in the earth's creation. this is just an authentic myth that explains the creation of the earth. every culture has produced creation myths."
