Which statement best analyzes the call to action in Roosevelt's speech?
By pointing out that Congress is responsible for the
current inadequate laws, Roosevelt risks losing his
audience's support before calling for new legislation
to fix the problem.
The loaded emotional language Roosevelt uses and
the failure to describe how the action will benefit his
audience weakens his call to action.
Roosevelt clearly explains why action is needed by
using rhetorical appeals to strengthen his
argument and directly requesting specific action.
Roosevelt provides meaningful context for the call to
action, but he does not effectively employ rhetorical
appeals to persuade his audience.

Returning from vietnam, we were indeed given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. what is one way the author's use of language contributes to the tone of this passage? a. the use of figurative language creates a feeling of resentment. b. the phrase "hot, angry tangle" is used sarcastically to create irony. c. the word "parade" is used sarcastically to create a lighthearted mood. d. the parallelism draws attention to the confusion of those returning.
