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:
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the house? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss.

What is most likely the author's purpose in this section of the speech?

A. To elicit a strong emotional response from the audience
B. To question the motives behind recent Parliament legislation
C. To reflect upon his own experiences with diplomacy with Britain
D. To warn against the unlikelihood of British cooperation

Use this article excerpt to answer questions 9-10.
Studentka2010 [4]

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.
