Answer:

B) by showing the settlers their inability to see the similarities with Native Americans.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the missionary explains his Christian beliefs to the "Indians," hoping they will believe him and convert. The Native people seem to accept the misisonary's stories, and they proceed to tell him theirs. When they are done, the misisonary does not believe any of the Natives' stories. The native people, therefore, become very offended. They argue that it is only polite to accept their stories too, since the Natives have accepted the missionary's stories. The irony is that the Native Americans see all myths as being on the same level, an idea that a missionary cannot comprehend.

Which theme in a speech should come last?

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: A summary could be followed by a Conclusion, at least it seems reasonable if you get up and have something to say, something of enough importance to convey, you certainly can summarize what you tried to get across, and lastly provide a conclusion to make the Speech and your point of giving it, (at last complete), with a Conclusion.

This is simply my opinion, and I am not referencing any “rule book”, just what I find to be reasonable.

A final Conclusion would by this time,

allow the listener to evaluate all the speaker had said and why. It would have a greater purpose beyond a mere exercise.

This is, again, simply my view on the question and a proposed answer.
