Question

Which audience is Michelle Obama most likely addressing in these remarks?

Remarks::
Instead of just a few hours of cartoons on weekends, there are entire networks devoted to children's programming. Instead of kickball and jump rope, kids sit motionless, unblinking for hours clicking, typing and texting away. Fresh fruits and vegetables have gotten more expensive, while convenience foods have gotten cheaper. And let's be honest sometimes, as parents today, we are just plain tired. We're working longer hours to make ends meet. We're under more stress.
a) Parents
b) Children
c) Teachers
d) Doctors

Answer 1

Technically, Michelle Obama is addressing A, or Parents. She says in her remarks, “As parents today, we are just plain tired.” Although it is children she is talking about, it is the parents she is addressing this situation to.
