Question

Which choice BEST analyzes how the opening lines "Viet-Nam is situated thousands of miles from the United States. The Vietnamese people have never done any harm to the United States," function in the overall argument

Answer 1

Answer:

These lines establish a logical appeal to help support the claim that the United States should not continue it’s war in Vietnam.

Explanation:

Chi Minh begins his argument with the very logical points that Vietnam is far away from the United States and that Vietnam has never done anything to harm the United States. These help lay the groundwork logically for the rest of the argument to come.
