C). Used by Reagan to acknowledge an opposing view.
E). Followed by a counterargument proving Reagan's point.
Explanation:
The given excerpt from Ronald Reagan's speech at the Moscow State University, the underlined words employ 'procatalepsis'(rhetorical exercise) to raise an objection over the common belief that 'freedom makes people selfish and materialistic' but he states that 'Americans are one of the most religious people on the earth.' The use of 'but' reflects the use of 'procatalepsis.' Reagan <u>acknowledges the contradictory views by providing the reasons to substantiate the claim(why 'Americans are most religious people')</u> which is followed by <u>a counterargument to defy George Washington's claim and validate his point</u>. Thus, <u>options A, C, and E</u> are the correct answers.
