Select the correct text in the passage. In which sentence does the author most clearly define his argument? adapted from The Goa

l of Sending a Man to the Moon by John F. Kennedy If we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny, the dramatic achievements in space which occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to us all the impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere. Since early in my term, our efforts in space have been under review. With the advice of the Vice President, we have examined where we are strong and where we are not, where we may succeed and where we may not. Now it is time to take longer strides—time for a great new American enterprise—time for this nation to take a clearly leading role in space achievement. This in many ways may hold the key to our future on earth. Recognizing the head start obtained by the Soviets with their large rocket engines, we nevertheless are required to make new efforts on our own. For while we cannot guarantee that we shall one day be first, we can guarantee that any failure to make this effort will make us last. We take an additional risk by making it in full view of the world, but this very risk enhances our stature when we are successful. We go into space because whatever mankind must undertake, free men must fully share. I therefore ask the Congress, above and beyond the increases I have earlier requested for space activities, to provide the funds which are needed to meet the following national goals: First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space. None will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon—if we make this judgment affirmatively, it will be an entire nation. For.

Start a fire. It sets the entire island on fire and puts them in danger. As far as irony goes, fire is a symbol of hope in the novel, so it is ironic that hope is the thing that would destroy them (if they were not found just in time).

Did Benjamin agree with napoleon or snowball about what was said.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
I am going to assume you mean for the book Animal Farm, and the answer would be that Benjamin does not agree with either of the pigs, so he does not side with either of them.
