Answer 2

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

"Hotel Rwanda" is a movie based on the true events of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, when Paul Ruesabagina and his family manged to save the lives of Tutsi.

When Paul instructed the refugees to call the influential people they know in abroad, he said them to call them and let them know that they are holding onto them to save their lives. He instructed his refugees to can these people and shame them into sending them help. He guided them that when they would say 'good byes' to those influential people, say like as if they are reaching out their hands through the phone and asking for the help. He instructed them to let them know that their lives are in their hands when he stated 'if they let go of that hand'.

The purpose of this speech was to let the people outside the country in shock about the happenings of genocide in Rwanda and to compel them to rescue them.

Thus the correct answer is option A.
