When constructing a speech, the thing to keep in mind is there are three main parts—an introduction, the body, and the conclusion. In the introduction, you’ll want to have an attention getter that draws the audience in. One way to do this if speaking about Obesity: A Curse is to, perhaps, mention a shocking statistic or even an anecdote. Then (think of a speech like an essay where you’ll have a thesis statement), preface the speech by mentioning the three points you’ll discuss. Then, in the order you mention your three points, discuss the points in one paragraph each for the body mentioning your strongest point last and second strongest first. After that, with your conclusion recap all of the points mentioned and have a call to action for the audience or even a “what if” scenario if obesity is not addressed.
Answer: D. to inform readers about Blair's apology
Explanation:
The article excerpt provides information about Blair's apology in an unbiased way, meaning that it doesn´t intend to convince the reader of whether an apology was in order or not.
Option A is incorrect because the idea that British diplomats had allegedly been working non-stop is how Blair, and not the article, intends to persuade people not to blame them. Option B is incorrect because the article doesn´t ask or even hint for people to help British survivors. Option C is incorrect because the article is not meant to explain why Britons were deserted, but to inform how Blair considers they were not deserted at all.
What comes to my mind is a person who wants avenge something, whether a person or and item that they love. It usually has malice behind it.
