The passage of Armstrong is missing, here is the passage:

When I was 25 I got testicular cancer and nearly died. I was given less than a 40 percent chance of surviving, and frankly, some of my doctors were just being kind when they gave me those odds. Death is not exactly cocktail party conversation, I know, and neither is cancer, or brain surgery, or matters below the waist. But I'm not here to make polite conversation. I want to tell the truth. I'm sure you'd like to hear about how Lance Armstrong became a Great American and an Inspiration To Us All, how he won the Tour de France, the 2,290-mile road race that's considered the single most grueling sporting event on the face of the earth. You want to hear about faith and mystery, and my miraculous comeback, and how I joined towering figures like Greg LeMond and Miguel Indurain in the record book. You want to hear about my lyrical climb through the Alps and my heroic conquering of the Pyrenees, and how it felt. But the Tour was the least of the story.

The correct answer to this question is C.  “I’m not here to make polite conversation. I want to tell the truth.”

Explanation:

In texts, the purpose is defined as the main reason for writing a text, which can include to inform, persuade, explain, etc. In the case of the passage presented, the purpose of Lance Armstrong is to explain his truth, this is directly expressed in the section "But I'm not here to make polite conversation. I want to tell the truth".

Moreover, this purpose is supported through other details that include the fact Armstrong had cancer and his perspective that his triumph in the Tour of France was not the only important part of his story because this shows Armstrong want to tell all the truth about himself and his story rather than being polite and only tell those parts the audience wants to hear.

Which step should you take first after viewing a commercial for a product?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

What step should you take FIRST after viewing a commercial?

Explanation:

Well, let's get an understanding when we see a commercial for a product. It's mostly just to get you to purchase the product, getting you intrigued and probably hyping you up enough to get the product yourself in the markets, but it's not always like that for some. But, what's the first thing you should do after viewing a commercial:

Basing your final decision on the visuals used-

This is your final decision, not your starting decision on whether or not you should buy the product, I believe that it is good, but even at points the visuals aren't always the exact thing what you're gonna get if you buy it, it's probably gonna be different than what it shows on TV.

Buying the product if the commercial was funny-

No matter if it gave you a chuckle, it'll probably "try" and connect with you, it doesn't care if you enjoyed it, as long as you buy the product and use it, they only care about the income that is generated from their product.

Examining your emotional response-

What you feel about it is a good way to think about if you should get it or not, if it made you happy and excited and you believe it's a good 'want' or 'need', it's probably recommended for you. If you don't like it or you just don't feel that excited, you shouldn't really get it nor try and see if you would like it, wasting money either way.

Making a decision based on whether you like the background music

Go ahead, but this is Brainly, we have epic brains (I need help), but for real though, making a decision on the background music? That's just like saying "I like this show because of the outro music, or the intro song" and not because of what it's purpose it, mainly just to entertain or inform, if you apply that to a product, it's just not a good idea nor a good mindset to be in.

But, I believe that examining your emotional response is the way to go, it could also be by basing your final decision on the visuals, however, that's a final decision, this is the first step, which means to see how you feel about it and see if you should get it or not.

In the passage, it clearly shows that they’re distant to each other. Even if Wright and his father have had many similarities, the next set of sentences shows that it antagonizes it. Wright is not close with his father. He doesn't have a good relationship to his father.
