Which choice is an effective strategy when trying to convince an unwilling or disagreeable audience?
A.
Do not expect the members of the audience to change their minds after the speech. Look for small gains, like a simple nod of approval.
B.
Before the speech, tell the members of the audience how much you know about the topic to convince them of your knowledge.
C.
Keep the speech short and simple. An unwilling audience can never be persuaded.
D.
Use inflated language to convince the audience you know more than you actually do.

A is the correct answer

Answer:

A. Do not expect the members of the audience to change their minds after the speech. Look for small gains, such as a simple nod of approval.

Explanation:

Members of an unwilling audience would take time to convince. It is best to look for the small gains in parts of the audience, use these as an "in" with the crowd. When performing your speech it is, of course, good to use inflated language but not to the extent that you can't verify your knowledge. An unwilling audience may be difficult to convince but it is never impossible. And, discussing your knowledge with the audience before is not an effective strategy. Your words should show your knowledge.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Which sentence is a complex sentence?
Time is not always change. Time can also mean continuity, and it can mean keeping acknowledged truths in mind despite differences in
circumstances. There is no better example of this in Things Fall Apart than the retellings of the proverb about the bird named Eneke. The language
in both retellings is almost identical despite the length of time that has passed between their repetitions. In comparing the usages of the same
proverb, Achebe allows his readers to note the similarities and differences between the situations, and he helps them understand how this story can
be applied to their own lives.

from Declaration of Sentiments (1848)

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume among the people of the earth a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled.
The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

1. Read the below except from the Preface written by Elie Wiesel about his memoir Night and then respond to the question that follows.

…The topic of Auschwitz has become part of mainstream culture. There are films, plays, novels, international conferences, exhibitions, annual ceremonies with the participation of the nation’s officialdom. The most striking example is that of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.; it has received more than twenty-two million visitors since its inauguration in 1993.
This may be because the public knows that the number of survivors is shrinking daily and is fascinated by the idea of sharing memories that will soon be lost. For in the end, it is all about memory, its sources, and its magnitude, and, of course, its consequences.
For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous by offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.
Sometimes I am asked if I know “the response to Auschwitz”; I answer that not only do I not know it, but that I don’t even know if a tragedy of this magnitude has a response. What I do know is that there is “response” in responsibility. When we speak of this era of evil and darkness, so close and yet so distant, “responsibility” is the key word.
The witness has forced himself to testify. For the youth of today, for the children who will be born tomorrow. He does not want his past to become their future.

In these final thoughts from the preface precluding his memoir Night, Elie Wiesel talks about memories and trying to understand Auschwitz. What are your thoughts about the above excerpt in context with a theme you observed at work in the novel? Write a response of no less than three paragraphs explaining how the above excerpt introduces and supports a theme you identified in the novel.
