What is the best way for a listener to clarify the speakers argument? a. say nothing until the speaker is finished b. speaker in a loud voice to sound forcefulc. interrupt the speaker after each sentence d. ask the speaker to rephrase a particular point

The answer is D.

This is because:

A. -- You don't want to say nothing until the speaker is finished. This is because at some point you may forget what you were going to say, or it may not be as important to you after waiting so long.

B. -- You never want to speak in a loud voice to sound forceful. People will less likely agree with you or try to help you if you sound impatient and forceful.

C. -- Interrupting, for one, is already a rude thing. But interrupting after the speaker's every sentence is outrageous and not needed.

D. -- There may be more than one thing you need to be rephrased. If you quietly raise your hand in the middle when the speaker is taking a breath, it would be more likely that the speaker would gladly rephrase a particular point you are confused on. This also shows that you are fully engaged in the performance and are paying attention and taking mental notes.

I think that it's D. Ask the speaker to rephrase a particular point. but sorry if i'm wrong

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.
