This line comes from "The Things They Carried" by Tim O Brien when he served in Vietnam. The term hard vocabulary to contain terrible softness simply reflects what he has done to serve in Vietnam. In times of war, it is not good to be internally soft as it may serve as weakness to enemies. Therefore, hard vocabulary refers to the words that one would say to himself and others in order to project strength and hide softness or weakness inside.

Read the excerpt from President Reagan’s Address at Moscow State University.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is C.

The explanation for Option C:- raise an objection to his own opinion and counter that argument is:

On May 31, 1988 President Ronald Reagan addressed the students and faculty at Moscow State University (MSU). Although previous presidents desired such an opportunity, no other U.S. president except Richard M. Nixon had stood east of the Berlin Wall and spoken directly to the citizens of the Soviet Union. That Reagan would have such an opportunity was highly unlikely. Reagan appeared to be an implacable foe of the Soviet Union, previously calling it an "evil empire," describing it as "the focus of evil in the modern world," and accusing the Soviet "regime" of being "barbaric."

Thus, Reagan equated freedom with progress. Specifically, his thesis argued that human rights equal individual freedom; freedom equals individual creativity; individual creativity equals technological progress. The essence of the argument in Reagan's MSU address can be summarized as it follows:

There is a revolution taking place. It is spreading around the globe.

Hope this helps! :3
