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

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Richard Borshay Lee, a Canadian anthropologist, was born in 1937. He is a Professor of Anthropologist at the University of Toronto. He is well known internationally for his ethnographic studies of hunting and gathering societies. His essay, "Eating Christmas In The Kalahari" was published in 1969. In his essay, he shares a memory of Christmas feast he had with the !Kung Bushmen. He went there to study the hunting and gathering subsistence economy of the !Kung. He shares about the Christmas ox custom of the !Kung, in which they sacrifice a fat and healthy ox. So in  response to show gratitude to the !Kung, Lee brings them a fat and healthy slaughtered ox. But instead of being thankful the !Kung's criticized and said that it is a worthless and thin ox. But later he comes to know that it is the way !Kung's receive gifts. They "fool people about that." According to the !Kung's culture if they praise the young for the slaughtered ox, they will be filled with pride. And to avoid making them proud and arrogant they insult the gifts, but in locked rooms they praise it.
