Read this excerpt from a speech by televangelist Jerry Falwell, 1980. We must reverse the trend America finds herself in today.

Young people between the ages of twenty-five and forty have been born and reared in a different world than Americans of years past. The television set has been their primary baby-sitter. From the television set they have learned situation ethics. . . . [T]hey have learned a loss of respect for human life. They have learned to disrespect the family as God has established it. They have been educated in a public-school system that is permeated with secular humanism. They have been taught that the Bible is just another book of literature. They have been taught that there are no absolutes in our world today. They have been introduced to the drug culture. . . . These same young people have been reared under the influence of a government that has taught them socialism and welfarism.
The sentiments described in the excerpt reflect which of the following?
the rise of the Moral Majority
the influence of the silent majority
the effects of the introduction of television
the rise of the New Left

The correct answer is "the rise of the Moral Majority."

The sentiments described in the excerpt reflect the following: "the rise of the Moral Majority."

Here we are talking about the influential evangelist Jerry Falwell and his Moral Majority. He promoted conservative values in the United States and supported the ideas of the conservative Republicans

As a religious preacher, he led many followers to pressure the government to establish moral values as an important part of American politics and society. This group did not approve of liberal movements such as the gay movement of feminists movement, that in its view, undermined the values of America.

The rise of the conservative movement was significant and Jerry Falwell and his group supported the political campaign of Republican Ronald Reagan.

Answer:

B. deplete overall tax revenues for the federal government.

Explanation:

In the early 1990s, after the amazing Reagan years and his Reaganomics or supply-side economics, the United States reached an astronomic federal deficit without precedents. The former president and his advisors intended to estimulate growth and rise American prosperity, but they did not foresee the debt levels and the budget deficit that reached historical levels. It was the Clinton administration, a Democratic administration, that raised taxes again and managed to trim the deficit , balance the budget and even get a surplus.
