Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the B) MacArthur wants to impress his listeners; Long wants to make them think.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the question is asking specifically for the purposes of their respective speeches. It is important to take into account that MacArthur's excerpt is part of an acceptance speech, whereas Long's excerpt is part of a radio address that the politician gave during the Great Depression. MacArthur is praising and commending the military for their work, using, for that purpose, a very poetic and symbolic language ("you are the leaven which binds together...," or "the shadows are lengthening for me. The twilight is here," just to give an example). His is clearly a speech aimed at impressing his listeners. Long, on the contrary, presents a series of facts and he then poses two very straightforward questions, which seem to be directed to those who were running the country at that time. He responds to the first one firmly, but he does not give an answer to the second one, since it is a rethorical question. His speech, therefore, definitely makes you think and reflect upon his words.

<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The character of the father (king) in “The Princess and the Tin Box,” is a supporting role. Not much is mentioned about him but through the story an outline can be drawn. </em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
James Thurber’s short story “The Princess and the Tin Box,” is written in the form a modern fable. The main character is the Princess who has just turned eighteen years old and spoilt with riches since childhood. The King or the father of the Princess has a minimal role to play. But from the story we can understand that the princess was very dear to him since she was a baby. He provided her with the best of things that included only gold, precious stones etc. All things below this standard was not even kept in the palace grounds. So he basically, kept his daughter lavishly and dependant on others with all the amenities.
