Hello. Unfortunately, you did not present the speeches to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for me to answer you. However, I will try to help you as much as possible.
The only way to answer this question is to read both articles completely and understand the arguments and opinions presented by the authors. After doing these readings, you should identify the text that was most significant to you. It is likely that this is the text that you agree with the author's arguments, or that managed to provoke a strong reflection in you. Once you've identified this, you should look for which part of this text that made an impact on you and managed to make you choose it. This part is the text element that was meaningful to you.
Answer:
The author views Diane France as a creative problem solver, and writes to inform readers about the time France made a cast of her own tongue.
Explanation:
The statement that best describes Hopping’s viewpoint and purpose in this excerpt: "the author views Diane France as a creative problem solver, and writes to inform readers about the time France made a cast of her own tongue"
The excerpt actually shows that France is a creative problem solver. She actually reveals this by sharing her story when Diane France made the cast of her tongue. She actually made used of her own tools and used them in a creative way to achieve the result she had. Also, the excerpt tells readers about the time France made a cast of her tongue.
You can also write: Writing stories in an outlet is what helps Francie avoid telling lies. As stated in lines 143-145, "What was important was that the attempt to write stories kept her straight on the dividing line between truth and fiction." This is all thanks to her teacher's advice.
