Question

Which ideas from the excerpt would be most appropriate to

Answer 1

Answer + Explanation:

A) Popular novels from the past often ask provocative questions that are important to consider today.

In this speech, President Reagan uses the ending of a popular novel of the '60s to help pose his question about whether history still has a place for America, her people and her ideals. He takes provocative questions written in an old novel and uses them to show important subjects that need to be addressed today.

B) Many Americans have given up and say that the nation is no longer great or a land of dreams.

In his speech Reagan states that many Americans have lost their faith in their country and no longer believe that it is a place for dreams and greatness. This people say that Americans must "cut our expectations, conserve and withdraw"

C) President Reagan believed that John Wayne would argue that he was not the last American hero, because there are many more.

After the passing of the iconic Hollywood actor, John "Duke" Wayne, the headlines on the newspapers called him the "Last American Hero". Reagan, being a close friend of the late actor, stated that Wayne would've hated being called that, since he knew there were still many other heroes in America.

What To Include In A Summary?

What you want to include in a summary is the main idea's three supportive details, the main idea, and a short introduction. Say I had a story called "Butterflies And Me." The main idea of the story is that I love butterflies. My supporting details can be I keep butterflies as pets because I love them and my family loves butterflies too; I think they gave me my love for them and we have another house just for butterflies and not us! My introduction will be listed in my summary. Also, when doing a summary, close it like you would a story-listed in my summary.

What's My Summary?

Here's my summary.

(Introduction) I think butterflies are great! They are very pretty, and my family thinks so too. We own two houses-one for butterflies, and one for us. (Main Idea) We have this because my family and I love butterflies, and we have thousands as pets! I love butterflies so, so much! (Supporting Details-Going Into The Supporting Details More) I think my family gave me that love for butterflies...no one but them would ever think about buying another house next door just for them. I keep them all as my pets! Do you love butterflies? I do!

I'm sorry I can't find the options, so I hope this helps.
