Question

Read the passage from Ronald Reagan's first inaugural address.

We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are not heroes...
don't know where to look. ... There are entrepreneurs with faith in themselves and faith in an idea who create
new jobs, new wealth and opportunity.
-First inaugural address,
President Reagan,
1980
Reagan's words serve as evidence that his presidency would most likely
O work to create job programs for the unemployed.
O create new public housing projects in the inner cities.
O back the initiative of individuals wanting to start businesses.
O seek to expand government entitlement programs.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The speech by Reagan refers to ENTREPRENEURS and their heroic faith in starting a business. He is talking about the significance of these people and their ability to create tons of jobs and revenue for the country. To me it seems like the main goal of the speech is to encourage Americans to go to economically productive things. He never once references 1) creating job programs and giving people hand-outs, 2) creating new housing, or 3) seeking to expand government programs.

Option C is the only option that does not talk about direct government aid, and Reagan did not talk about government aid in his speech

Answer 2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I chose A because the 2 possible answers are A and C but C is only part of what hes hinting at because how can helping entrepreneurs(a small portion of people wont help the economy but giving a lot of job opportunities from that small portion would) employment rates would drop and its a very common claim in every successful presidential campaign
