Question 6 of 24
Read the following paragraph from a speech:
It was a long time ago that I was born, but I know all too well the conditions of poverty that surround the lives of today's children. We had no running water and no oven.
Today's children living in poverty often have these things, but they lack the kind of opportunities their more affluent peers have. It is a long climb out of poverty, and there are no easy solutions. But by supporting this bill, you can help make history by ensuring that no child goes to bed hungry.
Which statement best explains why the final sentence is effective?
A. It draws a personal connection to establish the speaker's credibility.
• B. It acknowledges how complex the problem is.
• c. It asks the audience to play a role in solving a problem.
) D. It backs up the speaker's claim with specific details.



Answer :

The statement that best explains why the final sentence is effective is C. It asks the audience to play a role in solving a problem.

The final sentence, "But by supporting this bill, you can help make history by ensuring that no child goes to bed hungry," explicitly calls the audience to action, inviting them to be part of the solution by supporting the bill. This direct appeal to the audience's sense of responsibility and their potential impact on a significant issue makes the sentence effective in rallying support and prompting action.
