Read this excerpt from the speech "Never Give In" delivered by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the Harrow School on

October 29, 1941, during World War II. What is the purpose of this speech?
You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more than will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period - I am addressing myself to the School - surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this tradition of ours, our songs, our School history, this part of the history of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated.

Very different is the mood today. Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. But instead our country stood in the gap. There was no flinching and no thought of giving in; and by what seemed almost a miracle to those outside these Islands, though we ourselves never doubted it, we now find ourselves in a position where I say that we can be sure that we have only to persevere to conquer.

Answer:

Option C. The purpose of the speech was to inspire the students to never quit or accept defeat.

Explanation:

During world War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill gave a speech named "never give in" at the Harrow School. The main message the Prime minister gave through his speech was to encourage the students to never quit in the face of adversity, to hold their convictions and morals high and to not accept defeat, in a clear analogy with what was happening in the country and in the rest of the world.
