Question

Which of these lines from the speech shows what Kennedy believes about the citizens of

America?

Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort.In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in.


So I ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King - yeah, it's true -- but more
importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love - a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.

But we have to make an effort in the United States. We have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these rather difficult times.

But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings who abide in our land.

Answer 2

Answer: Most likely answer D which is, "But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people...etc..."

>Answer D is most likely the answer here because Kennedy speaks about the citizens and how most of them want peace, which is Kennedy's opinion of the citizens. From these words, Kennedy believes most of the citizens of America are kind and only want to improve.

Step-by-step explanation:

>In answer A, Kennedy is not talking about the citizens, instead he is speaking about what happened to Martin Luther King Jr.

>In answer B, Kennedy is only requesting the citizens to go home and pray, no opinion is expressed.

>In answer C, Kennedy is inspiring the citizens, but nothing within this answer expresses how Kennedy feels about the citizens.
