Question

Read the excerpt from Obama's Second Inaugural Address. This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together. What is President Obama’s purpose in this section of the speech? A to inform the American people about his plans for the future of the country
B to highlight to the American people the importance of personal success 
C to inspire the American people to collectively work toward a better future
D to show the American people that success is more fulfilling as a group
