QUESTION:

What is the MAIN purpose of the following sentence from the article?

I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man.

to instill love and compassion in all citizens of the United States

to convey a human element and create empathy with the audience

to explain to the audience that revenge is never an appropriate solution

to educate the audience on the rise in violence in the United States

Answer 1

The main purpose of the sentence is Option B: to convey a human element and create empathy with the audience

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert Kennedy, brother of John Kennedy, broke the news of assassination of John Kennedy to the nation in a campaign rally.

He addressed all the citizens and asked the black people if they were having the same feeling of sorrow and grief on John's murder as he had. His main purpose was to create empathy with the audience. He was not trying to instill love in the citizens of U.S as per Option B. Nor he was explaining about the revenge, as option C. He was not educating the audience about violence in U.S.
