Question

Read the excerpt from a speech by President John F. Kennedy to Congress in 1961. Excerpt from Speech by President Kennedy 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; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. We propose to accelerate the development of the appropriate lunar space craft. We propose to develop alternate liquid and solid fuel boosters, much larger than any now being developed, until certain which is superior. …. But 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 all of us must work to put him there. What was Kennedy likely trying to convince Congress to do? A. develop alternative sources of energy B. choose an astronaut to go to the moon C. support funding a space program D. develop job services for the nation

Answer 1

hm.... i suppose it would be the c.) support funding a space program.

Answer 2

C. support funding a space program

Step-by-step explanation:

His aim is very clear at the beginning of the excerpt when he says: "I believe this nation should commit itself to achieve the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth."

He accepts this objective will be imperative to accomplish, for himself as a president, yet in addition for the Nation; this man would speak to the whole American Nation.
