The goal that Kennedy wants to accomplish in this excerpt from a speech to a Congress in 1961 is C: <u>Put an American on the moon and return him safely to the Earth.</u>
Explanation:
His intention is very clear at the beginning of the excerpt when he says: "<em>I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of </em><em>landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth.</em>" He believes this goal will be very important to achieve, not only for himself as a president, but also for the Nation; this man would represent the entire American Nation.
