B. to draw a connection between the speaker and the reader
Yes. None of these jobs do any real good for the country, yet, actors and athletes are still paid more than some people who sacrifice their time and lives for the country. Actors are paid way too much, because they get paid more than even people who save lives everyday, such soldiers, or the navy do. One person said that they found that the actor Will Ferrell was paid 40 million dollars a year, and that’s just for acting in one or two movies each year. Actors are paid way too much, because they get paid more than even people who save lives everyday, such soldiers, or the navy do.
Examples:
One person said that they found that the actor Will Ferrell was paid 40 million dollars a year, and that’s just for acting in one or two movies each year.
They also found that Michael Jordan is paid roughly $4.34 every second. That amounts to 375 thousand dollars a day, and over 136 million dollars a year.
The answer is
B. We remember her wisdom. We appreciate her sacrifice. We praise her efforts.

Read this excerpt from
"Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk."

bombed out peasant hamlets, the orphans begging and stealing on the streets of
Saigon and the women and children with napalm burns lying on the hospital cots,
whether the United States or any nation has the right to inflict this suffering
and degradation on another people for its own ends.<span>
