Answer 2

The statement that best describes how Nixon's resignation speech and the Washington Post article on the resignation address the same subject in a different way is C. The speech offers a subjective or biased view of the resignation, while the article gives an objective and unbiased record of it.

Nixon's speech did not reflect much on his term and his actions, but was cursory and failed to give a credible apologies for the Watergate Scandal.  The speech was written to accent his accomplishments as a president.

On the other hand, the Washington Post article written by Carroll Kilpatrick reproduces some of Nixon's words in the resignation speech, but also signals the limitations of the mentioned speech and Nixon's previous accomplishments.
