The correct answer is number 2. It introduces the topic and hooks the audience.

<em>The main purpose of the first paragraph of the speech It introduces the topic and hooks the audience.  </em>

The Gettysburg address’ first paragraph, by Abraham Lincoln, introduces the topic and hooks the audience. The phrase that uses Lincoln is a biblical reference to “three score year and ten” which supposedly was the time humanity was supposed to live. Lincoln changed to “Four score and seven years ago…” to start its speech and catch people´s attention.

harkovskaia [24]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note that, stating the converse of a statement in logic simply involves you reverse the initial two statements (hypothesis &conclusion [S&P]).

We could deduce from this statement that the equivalent (reverse) to be:

All S is P -> Some P is S

The converse read; Some commissioned officers of West Point are graduates

c. Some European cars are overpriced and underpowered automobiles.

We could deduce from this statement that the equivalent (reverse) to be: Some S are P -> Some P is S

The converse read;  Some overpriced cars and underpowered automobiles are European cars

<u>d. No reptiles are warm-blooded animals. </u>

We could deduce from this statement that the equivalent (reverse) to be:

<u>No S is P -> No P is S</u>

The converse read; <u>No warm-blooded animals are reptiles.</u>

<u>e.  Some professional wrestlers are elderly persons who are incapable of doing an honest day’s work</u>
