Answer:

  Paradox.

Explanation:

  A paradox is a literary device that uses concepts or ideas that seem contradictory, they are usually hard to believe but they hold significant value on different levels.

  They can be classified into two groups within the literature; situational or rhetorical. In situational paradoxes, the character finds themselves in a situation hard to believe, while in rhetorical paradoxes, is the character who said something anomalous.

  I hope this answer helps you.

Answer:

If I were an American citizen listening to FDR’s speech, it would have affected me in a strong way. I would have felt a sense of horror at the surprise attack by the Japanese and a sense of indignation that they would have dared to attack us on our own home soil.

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Violence \ in \ society}}

Explanation:

Notice that each answer choice has a common theme of violence.

However, choices B (violence in popular music), C (violence in video games), and D (violence on television shows) are concentrated on one area/place where violence is prevalent. They are not very broad.

On the other hand, choice A (violence in society) is probably too broad for a 10 minute speech. There is all sorts of violence in society as a whole and there are too many things to touch in a ten minute time period.
