Answer:

C) The United States should extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.

Explanation:

Former president James Polk was one of the main believers of the idea of Manifest Destiny. According to this idea, the United States had a political and divine right to extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, in order to bring the virtues of the American civilization to as much territory as possible.

James Polk believed so firmly in this idea that he thought all means to realize it were valid. He actually provoked a war with Mexico that the US won, and that resulted in the cession of most of the American Southwest, which until then was part of Mexico, to the United States.

In this case, to move the audience (the parents) to support our case (go to school later would be easier for them), we have to talk about something that can benefit them from this change, if not they wouldn’t be interested. For example, saying that because is late it isn’t dangerous walking to school, and they wouldn’t have to drive you. In that case, they won’t even have to move from the house and have their own timetable.
