Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The long and meticulous study and debate of which this Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the product means that it reflects the composite views of the many men and governments who have contributed to its formulation. Not every man nor every government can have what he wants in a document of this kind. There are of course particular provisions in the Declaration before us with which we are not fully satisfied. I have no doubt this is true of other delegations, and it would still be true if we continued our labors over many years. Taken as a whole the Delegation of the United States believes that this is a good document—even a great document—and we propose to give it our full support. . . .

I should like to comment briefly on the amendments proposed by the Soviet delegation. The language of these amendments has been dressed up somewhat, but the substance is the same as the amendments which were offered by the Soviet delegation in committee and rejected after exhaustive discussion. Substantially the same amendments have been previously considered and rejected in the Human Rights Commission. We in the United States admire those who fight for their convictions, and the Soviet delegation has fought for their convictions. But in the older democracies we have learned that sometimes we bow to the will of the majority.

What are the elements of Roosevelt's argument in this passage? Select three options.

reasons why compromise is important when groups collaborate
evidence that the UDHR has universal support
a claim that the UDHR deserves support
a claim that proposed amendments deserve more consideration
a rebuttal of changes that one delegation has suggested
