In his speech, Roosevelt makes three lists:

(1) the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy

Equality of opportunity for youth and for others.
Jobs for those who can work.
Security for those who need it.
The ending of special privilege for the few
The preservation of civil liberties for all.
The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living.


(2) issues in the U.S. economy that call for immediate improvement

We should bring more citizens under the coverage of old-age pensions and unemployment insurance.
We should widen the opportunities for adequate medical care.
We should plan a better system by which persons deserving or needing gainful employment may obtain it.

(3) essential human freedoms.

The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants-everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.

1 only
2 and 3

Answer:

B: 2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In his speech, Roosevelt uses repetition effectively in 2 of his 3 lists: lists 2 and 3. In list 2 , he repeats the words 'We should ' three times. In the list 3 , he repeats the word 'every' twice; and the words 'everywhere in the world' three times. Repetition is a rethorical device used with the purpose of putting emphasis in a speech or writing.
