Explanation:

President Ronald Wilson Reagan, born on the 6th of February, 1911 and died on the 5th of June, 2004. He was the 40th president of the United States of America; served between 1981-1989.

John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate President Reagan on the 30th of March, 1981 in Washington DC but fortunately the president escaped sustaining only a gunshot wound.

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan visited the Soviet Union, where he delivered a motivational speech on democracy and individual rights to the students of Moscow state university.

President Reagan posited that, no country in the world can survive, thrive, grow and develop without allowing some form of democratic freedom such as freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of information, freedom of religion, freedom of thought etc.

Hence, one purpose of President Reagan's address at Moscow state university was to persuade listeners to embrace democratic freedoms because he is considered to be an anti-communist.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Persuade listeners to embrace democratic freedoms.

Explanation:

President Ronald Reagan gave his Address at Moscow State University on May 31, 1988, during his visit to the Soviet Union. And during his meeting with the students of the University, he stressed on the importance of democracy and one's freedom and rights.

Standing under the bust of Vladimir Lenin, Reagan addressed the students, stating that he wants to talk "about a very different revolution" [. . .] quietly sweeping the globe without bloodshed or conflict". He also proclaimed that "Democracy is the standard by which governments are measured", thus playing with the minds of the students about the need for a democratic government and approach. Talking about how freedom is an open belief in America, he stressed on how Americans practice it, be it politically or religiously.

Thus, the one purpose of this speech is to try to persuade the students, the listeners about the need to embrace democratic freedoms.
