Read the paragraph.
This is a day of national consecration. And I am certain that on this day my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency, I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels.
What is the most likely reason Franklin D. Roosevelt chose to begin the Inaugural Address this way?
A.to emphasize the day's religious significance
B.to introduce his address using a positive tone
C.to avoid being accused of behaving dishonestly
D.to acknowledge the nation's present circumstances
c?
D? because I would not consider a positive tone more or so neutral and I don't necessarily say it is about religion
write teacher just tell her the answer instead of saying its wrong
D is the correct answer.
Well, let me put on my clown wig and try to answer this question with some humor. While option C, to avoid being accused of behaving dishonestly, might be nice and sneaky, it's not quite the right answer.
The correct answer is D, to acknowledge the nation's present circumstances. Mr. Roosevelt wanted to start his address by acknowledging the serious situation the country was facing, and reassure his fellow Americans that he would address their concerns with honesty and determination. So, sorry for not providing a funny answer this time. But hey, at least now you know the real deal! Keep those questions coming!
To determine the most likely reason Franklin D. Roosevelt chose to begin the Inaugural Address this way, we need to analyze the information given in the paragraph. In the paragraph, Roosevelt states that "this is a day of national consecration" and that he will address his fellow Americans with "candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels."
Based on this information, the most likely reason for his choice of introduction is D. to acknowledge the nation's present circumstances. Roosevelt begins the speech by recognizing that it is a day of national consecration, hinting at the gravity and importance of the situation the country is facing. He also mentions that the present situation of the people impels him to address them with candor and a decision. This suggests that he wants to acknowledge the challenges and issues facing the nation and assure the public that he will address them directly and honestly.
Option C, to avoid being accused of behaving dishonestly, is not supported by the information in the paragraph. Roosevelt does not mention anything about accusations of dishonesty in his introduction. Therefore, the most likely reason is D. to acknowledge the nation's present circumstances.
I see no negatives in the passage. I do see negatives in C.
Please re-think.
