HELP PLEASE

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans-born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been
committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world!
What is the primary purpose of this excerpt from President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address as it relates to the
speech as a whole?
it to inspire fear in the hearts of America's enemies
to express the strength and resolve of American citizens
kom to convey anger at the lack of progress made by America
to convince Americans of the importance of helping others​
