Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” Then I saw their fate come upon them and that was terrible past speech. It cam

e upon them as they walked the streets of their city. I have been in the fights with the Forest People—I have seen men die. But this was not like that. When gods war with gods, they use weapons we do not know. It was fire falling out of the sky and a mist that poisoned. It was the time of the Great Burning and the Destruction. They ran about like ants in the streets of their city—poor gods, poor gods! Then the towers began to fall. A few escaped—yes, a few. The legends tell it. But, even after the city had become a Dead Place, for many years the poison was still in the ground. I saw it happen, I saw the last of them die. It was darkness over the broken city and I wept. Which theme is best established by the conflict in this passage? Advances in technology can lead to devastation. War is an unfortunate but necessary path to growth. Those who come before us determine the future. Coming of age requires risk-taking and bravery.

In President Reagan’s words, “First I want to take a little time to talk to you,” what does “you” refer to?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

When it comes to speeches, using the word "you" is used to make those at home feel like they are being directly spoken with, and are important. Presidential speeches will often appeal to the masses by using terms like "all you folks at home" or "the people" to create a sense of unity within their followers(? or whatever you'd call them)

___ is the process of gathering objective information.
Tamiku [17]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Because the word inference means "a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning." This means that when the question asks the process of gathering objective information you would make inferences. Summarizing is when you give/tell the overall idea or the point of a text someone/something. Making observations is almost the same so if this is wrong it is probably D.
