Question

In "The Perils of Indifference," why does Wiesel begin his speech by thanking the U.S. soldiers for their sacrifices?

A. To ask the United States to bring war criminals to justice
B. To show his gratitude at being invited to speak
C. To appeal directly to the mostly U.S. audience
D. To express his anger at other countries that didn't help

Answer 1

The answer to the question you don't seem to be getting a very clear response on would indeed be the letter C. What can i say except your welcome.

Answer 2

C. To appeal directly to the mostly U.S. audience.

Wiesel speaks from the perspective of a holocaust survivor that only saw in the terror of war a little of hope when the american soldiers came to rescue and free them, in this case he appeals directly to the mainly US audience in order to aske them to remember and keep in mind the attrocious things that happened in the past century.
