"Tear Down This Wall" speech.

I understand the fear of war and the pain of division that afflict this continent—and I pledge to you my country's efforts to help overcome these burdens. To be sure, we in the West must resist Soviet expansion. So we must maintain defenses of unassailable strength. Yet we seek peace; so we must strive to reduce arms on both sides.

Which statement best describes the impact of rhetorical techniques in this excerpt?

The use of loaded language creates the need for immediate action in Europe.
The use of repetition reminds the audience of the obstacles they must defeat.
The use of inclusive language emphasizes hope for a better relationship in the future.
The use of exclusive language shows the contrast between the two countries.
