Answer:
A) Popular novels from the past often ask provocative questions that are important to consider today.
In this speech, President Reagan uses the ending of a popular novel of the '60s to help pose his question about whether history still has a place for America, her people and her ideals. He takes provocative questions written in an old novel and uses them to show important subjects that need to be addressed today.
B) Many Americans have given up and say that the nation is no longer great or a land of dreams.
In his speech Reagan states that many americans have lost their faith in their country and no longer believe that it is a place for dreams and greatness. Theis people say that americans must "cut our expectations, conserve and withdraw"
D) President Reagan believed that John Wayne would argue that he was not the last American hero, because there are many more.
After the passing of the iconic Hollywood actor, John "Duke" Wayne, the headlines on the newspapers called him the "Last American Hero". Reagan, being a close friend of the late actor, stated that Wayne would've hated being called that, since he knew there were still many other heroes in America.

<u>Note</u>:
___________________________________________________________
Choice: [A]: "comma" — is INCORRECT. Note that placing a "comma" would result in an error known as "comma splice".
___________________________________________________________
Choice: [C]: "period" — is INCORRECT. Note that placing a "period" would be incorrect. Doing so would result in a new sentence that does not begin with a capital letter.
____________________________________________________________
Choice: [D]: "no punctuation is needed" —is INCORRECT. Note that if the statement were left alone, the statement would be a "<u>run-on sentence</u>".
___________________________________________________________
The correct answer is: [B]: "semicolon". If a new sentence could be formed; and if the ideas could connect; it is acceptable to place a "semicolon" between the "two potential statements to form one statement" ; and to NOT CAPITALIZE the first word of the "second [potential sentence]" —<u>unless</u> that "[second potential sentence] begins with a proper pronoun.
