Question

Which explanation about "I explain a few things Best develops the speakers viewpoint that adversity only makes his compatriots stronger?

Answer 1

While I don't see anything written about the speaker's viewpoint, from experience I know that adversity will only make his compatriots stronger. As an example from experience, while working at an open pit mine in BC, Canada, my compatriot and I had to work 30 hours straight on a diamond drill hole which was causing problems. The hole was caving and the drill rods were getting plugged with bentonite which we used to seal the hole off to install piezometers ie instruments to measure water pressure in the hole. So we found a way to open the rods and use concrete mixed with bentonite to still seal the piezometers and succeeded in our endeavour so this was getting strong from adversity.

By stating that citizens will “rise up / to drown you in a single wave,” the speaker indicates they are determined to overcome their opponents.
