Read the following excerpt from a 1775 speech by Patrick Henry in which he presents his ideas concerning the American colonists'

relationship with Great Britain:
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
What is most likely the author's purpose in this section of the speech?
A. To challenge the belief that wise, patriotic men can ignorantly hope for peace
B. To provide rationale for why war with Great Britain is unavoidable
C. To compare those who are loyal to Great Britain to monsters
D. To inspire citizens to take up arms and fight for freedom

In this excerpt from, Patrick Henry's speech at Saint John's Church in Virginia 1775 concerning the American colonists' relationship with Great Britain, the most likely purpose in this section of the speech is <em>A. To challenge the belief that wise, patriotic men can ignorantly hope for peace.</em>

Patrick Henry says that it is natural for a man to shut his eyes at a painful truth. But men who are engaged in a struggle for liberty are not the ones who don't want to face reality.

Write an argumentative essay for or against using public money to maintain national landmarks, such as the gateway Arch in St. L
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

A conclusion that is in favour:

"Using public money to maintain national landmarks is a good policy in the sense that a national landmark is a public good: no one can be excluded from enjoying the view of a national landmark like the Arch in St. Louis for example.

Because they are public goods, national landmarks are not likely to be profitable or provided by the private sector in a free market, and for this reason, government intervention in the form of public money becomes necessary".
