Answer:

"Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you."

Step-by-step explanation:

In his 1961 Inaugural Address, newly elected President John F. Kennedy expresses his aim and plan of going forward with making America a peaceful nation and also helping other nations achieve their peace. Moreover, he also reiterated the call for unity not only among the Americans but also all over the world in the fight against any form of enslavement or violence.

In his speech, President Kennedy expressed his ideal of democracy and that he will work to make that come true, not only in America but in all nations around the world. And in that call, he wants people around the world to be responsible and help each other. He called upon everyone, "whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world" to ask the "same high standards of strength and sacrifice" expected from them.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
