The correct answer is A. A memoir relies on the narrator's memory, while a biography relies on various other sources and D. A memoir talks about a limited experience in a person's life, while a biography deals with a larger part

Explanation:

A memoir is a memory or set of memories written by an individual about specific events or moments that are part of the individual's life, a memoir does not aim at telling the whole story life of a person but just one or more important moments in the person's life. On the other hand, a biography is a description of the life of an individual including information about his/her family, education, profession, death, among others, which is usually written by someone else, instead of the individual itself.

This implies memoirs emerge from the memory, feeling and experience on the individual and focused on limited experiences because they do not tell all the information in a person life but such relevant events; on the other hand, biographies relly not only on the memory of the person but other sources such as documents or family testimonies and aims at describing the life of the individual as a whole and not only few events as in the case of memoirs.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
