Think about the effect of the author's repetition of the words, "You ask" in the passage in the closing of the passage. The auth
or of this speech used repetitions of the phrase "You ask" because A) the author has the goal of preparing the British for an invasion, and he knows he will have to answer a lot of questions from the people after his speech.
B) the author has the goal of preparing the British for an invasion, and he plans on answering everyone's questions after the speech so that they feel better.
C) the author has the goal of preparing the British for an invasion, and he is trying to create a feeling of insecurity by placing the pressure of preparing for the invasion on the people.
D) the author has the goal of preparing the British for an invasion, and he wants to create a feeling of reassurance that the leaders have a policy and a direct aim for winning in the minds of the people.
I think d because authors often use repetition to create a strong feeling and d explains that the author wants to create a strong feeling of reassurance and a strong feeling of winning and motivation.
C. A heavy rainstorm. The text shows indication of a storm arriving. “Clouds arrived” are an indicator that clouds quickly appeared. “Lightning flashed” tells us these are storm clouds. It makes sense that next it would start raining, making the next event a heavy rainstorm.
