Read this excerpt from “President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation” following the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle. I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute. We'll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue. I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: “Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it.” There's a coincidence today. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard a ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and an historian later said, “He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.” Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake's, complete. Which line from the excerpt is an example of evidence in a persuasive speech? Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades.

Answer:

The answer is C :)

Explanation:

The line from the excerpt that is an example of evidence in a persuasive speech is: "Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades."

On January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven crew members on board.

President Ronald Reagan delivered a televised address to the nation that same day, expressing his condolences and reassuring the American people that the space program would continue.

The line from the excerpt that is an example of evidence in a persuasive speech is: "Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades."

This statement serves as evidence to support the speaker's argument that the people who work for NASA and the Challenger crew were dedicated professionals who deserve recognition and respect.

Thus, by using this evidence, the speaker is attempting to persuade the audience to share his perspective and support the continuation of the space program despite the tragic event that occurred.

Becoming a Dragon Champion (excerpt) Lotta Carl “I’ll never get Remus ready for the competition at this rate!” Jada said. Jada stood up and wiped the dust off her cloak. She had fallen onto the ground after Remus, her pet dragon, had accidentally knocked her over with his tail. Remus was still a young dragon and had not yet mastered taking off, landing, or other important dragon skills. Remus walked over to Jada and put his head down. “It’s okay, buddy,” she said. “Miguel, can you help me put Remus back into the barn? I don’t want to be late for the first-day banquette.” “Come on, Remus,” said Miguel. “Follow Igor back to the barn.” Remus obeyed Miguel’s command and followed Igor, whose dragon skills were a little more developed, back to the barn. “Don’t be discouraged, Jada,” said Miguel. It takes a long time for these dragons to learn to fly properly. Igor is a little more advanced because he is a few months older than Remus.” “I know. But the Dragon Championship is only a month away, and I’ve already seen some dragons soaring over the school and even breathing fire!” she said. “Well, we had better go in and join the banquet. Everyone will be wondering where we are.” By the time the friends walked into the hall, most of the students had already started eating.

Passage 1: Excerpt of John Muir's "Calypso Borealis"

[1] After earning a few dollars working on my brother-in law's farm near Portage [Wisconsin], I set off on the first of my long lonely excursions, botanising in glorious freedom around the Great Lakes and wandering through innumerable tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps, and forests of maple, basswood, ash, elm, balsam, fir, pine, spruce, hemlock, rejoicing in their bound wealth and strength and beauty, climbing the trees, revelling in their flowers and fruit like bees in beds of goldenrods, glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts displayed in boundless profusion.

[2] The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt.

[3] But when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung. The flower was white and made the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower. No other bloom was near it, for the bog a short distance below the surface was still frozen, and the water was ice cold. It seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people I had ever met. I sat down beside it and fairly cried for joy…

[6] Oftentimes I had to sleep without blankets, and sometimes without supper, but usually I had no great difficulty in finding a loaf of bread here and there at the houses of the farmer settlers in the widely scattered clearings. With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants, and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. Storms, thunderclouds, winds in the woods—were welcomed as friends.

Passage 2: William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Read this excerpt from "Eavesdropping" by Eudora Welty and answer the question.

What they talked about, I have no idea … . It was no doubt whatever a young married couple spending their first time privately in each other’s company in the long, probably harried day would talk about. It was the murmur of their voices, the back-and-forth, the unnoticed stretching away of time between my bedtime and theirs, that made me bask there at my distance. What I felt was not that I was excluded from them but that I was included, in – and because of – what I could hear in their voices and what I could see of their faces in the cone of yellow light under the brown-scorched shade.

In this excerpt, Welty’s diction best suggests she is writing to what possible audience?

young married couples who want to improve their relationship
young people who read
thoughtful readers interested in writing and literature
students in college
