Answer:
The kind of supporting materials being used in the excerpt is:
A. brief examples
.
Explanation:
<u>The purpose of using brief examples is to simply further illustrate or demonstrate something to the audience that they may not know, that is not so obvious to them. That is precisely what we have in the excerpt we are analyzing here. The speaker merely wishes to show his/her audience that there are several couples in Hollywood who have been married for quite some time. There is no need to used, for instance, an extended example here. What has been said so far is not so complex as to demand a lengthy example</u>. Notice that the speaker is not necessarily enumerating the couples, nor is he/she providing two much information about them. Their names and how long they've been married are briefly stated, which is enough for the purpose of illustrating the affirmation that "Not all Hollywood marriages are doomed to quick failure."
The correct answer is The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion
Explanation:
In "I Have a Dream" King connects the ideas of the Declaration of Independence about equality and freedom as essential or unalienable rights to religious ideas. This occurs as he uses terms such as "sacred obligation" or "creed" (faith). Moreover, this emphasizes King's main purpose in the speech because by stating unalienable rights are not only in the declaration but have a religious basis he shows how important is to guarantee everyone and especially African American basic rights. According to this, the correct answer is "The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion ."
