Answer:

C They explain specifically how Kennedy plans to honor his promise that the United States will do everything it takes to uphold liberty in nations across the world.

Step-by-step explanation:

These paragraphs are from President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural address in 1961.

Throughout the whole speech, Kennedy emphasizes and prioritizes the importance of freedom, using phrases such as "free men" "free government" "free society" "breaking the bonds of misery" "casting off the chains of poverty".

Through these phrases, he explains the goal of his politics, calls other nations to stand by him in this mission and offers help to those under oppressive regimes, still seeking liberation and freedom.
