Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:

president george w. bush’s speech to the troops on the uss abraham lincoln
our mission continues. al-qaida is wounded, not destroyed. the scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. the proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. the enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.

the war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. we do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. no act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. their cause is lost. free nations will press on to victory.

other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. and that is your direction tonight. after service in the afghan and iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the lincoln. your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

how is the third paragraph different from the first two?

it no longer sounds authoritative or informed about the situation.
it broadens its view to consider the service people around the world.
it gets more specific by talking about the service people on the uss lincoln.
it comes across as unfeeling and insensitive to the people who have suffered.

It broadens its view to consider the service people around the world.

C. Option is correct.  

Explanation:It gets more specific by talking about the service people on the USS Lincoln.

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
