Answer:

A. President Carter appeals to his audience’s emotions, and by doing so, he informs them that he is there to listen and to lead them into a new age of democracy.

B. President Carter addresses the American nation with a great sense of urgency, and by doing so, he commands and demands the audience’s attention.

Explanation:

A- President Carter says he has been listening to the people  and this has reminded him that  democracy has to get stronger. The U.S underwent many problems: three assassinations in 1960s and the defeat at the Vietnam War. An oil crisis is underway at the moment of this speech. "....to talk to you right now about a fundamental threat to American democracy." This quotation reflects the President's intention to inform his nation about  the need to take a new path towards democracy.

B- President Carter's sense of urgency is given by the recurrent usage of: " I want to speak to you ..." ; and "I want to talk to you right .." These also show that he is asking for the audience's attention.

Why should billionaire exist
k0ka [10]

Answer:
