Read the excerpt from a speech by Eleanor Roosevelt after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. What was her purpose for deliverin

g this speech?
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I am speaking to you tonight at a very serious moment in our history. The Cabinet is convening and the leaders in Congress are meeting with the President. The State Department and Army and Navy officials have been with the President all afternoon. In fact, the Japanese ambassador was talking to the president at the very time that Japan's airships were bombing our citizens in Hawaii and the Philippines and sinking one of our transports loaded with lumber on its way to Hawaii.

By tomorrow morning the members of Congress will have a full report and be ready for action.

In the meantime, we the people are already prepared for action. For months now the knowledge that something of this kind might happen has been hanging over our heads and yet it seemed impossible to believe, impossible to drop the everyday things of life and feel that there was only one thing which was important—preparation to meet an enemy no matter where he struck. That is all over now and there is no more uncertainty.

We know what we have to face and we know that we are ready to face it.

A. to rally people behind the administration’s decision
B. to consider the reasons why the Japanese decided to attack Pearl Harbor
C. to comfort people through her religious devotion
D. to reassure people about her dedication

I would think it would be A. She never mentions anything about why they attacked in b, only that they knew it was coming, In c she doesn't state anything about religion, and d, she is trying to reassure the people that they are prepared, not trying to get the people to like her. That only leaves A to be the best answer

How does the author address a<br> conflicting point of view?
Fantom [35]

People who disagree with the subjective viewpoint of an author also have a conflicting viewpoint. When an author writes an informational text, he or she must first communicate to the reader his or her purpose in writing the text. Some authors state their viewpoint and purpose very clearly.

Mayella Ewell is both pathetic and disgusting, but how?
Ivahew [28]
She acts racially and discriminately to get her way. She didn't tell the truth and wound up destroying the man's life. She tried to tempt him (she is disgusting) and then puts everything against him though she started it all (she is pathetic).
