I think I know what you are trying to say. Here is the information that you may be trying to put out there:
Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's Address at Moscow State University.
Freedom, it has been said, makes people selfish and materialistic, but Americans are one of the most religious peoples on Earth. Because they know that liberty, just as life itself, is not earned but a gift from God, they seek to share that gift with the world. "Reason and experience," said George Washington in his farewell address, "both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. And it is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government."
Select 3 options.
A.an example of procatalepsis.
C.used by Reagan to acknowledge an opposing view.
E.followed by a counterargument proving Reagan's point.
Explanation:
While addressing at Moscow State University, Ronald Reagan made use of procatalepsis where he is objecting to a commonly held belief. ‘Freedom, it has been said, makes people selfish and materialistic, but Americans are one of the most religious peoples on Earth’ here, ‘but’ indicates that the sentence is an example of procatalepsis.
Apart from this, Ronald is also acknowledging an opposing view by stating why Americans are the most religious people. Ronald also included George Washington’s counterargument for proving his point.
