Answer:
A). An example of Procatalepsis.
C). Used by Reagan to acknowledge an opposing view.
E). Followed by a counterargument proving Reagan's point.
Explanation:
The given excerpt from Ronald Reagan's speech at the Moscow State University, the underlined words employ 'procatalepsis'(rhetorical exercise) to raise an objection over the common belief that 'freedom makes people selfish and materialistic' but he states that 'Americans are one of the most religious people on the earth.'

Explanation:
"The Unspoken History Behind a Surname" is an article written by Lolly Bowean. The author through this article shares her experience when people inquire about the origin of her surname.
The author writes that when people probe her about her origin, at times it is painful to discuss it. As it will mean to go back to the times of enslavement and the legacy of Americans. The author says that when, once a lady asked her about her origin and she explained to her how Boweans came from through the marrriage of 'Norwoods' and 'Wakefields', the lady almost whispered that 'they were whites.'
<u>The author then recalls how difficult it becomes, at times, to discuss about her origin as the baggage of race comes upon her. She says that though she is not ashamed of her enslaved ancestors, but people rarely wants to discuss about the history</u>.
