answer to question number five is C

Correct!

1. The correct answer is A. When a speaker seeks to explain or illustrate a process, they are likely speaking to inform. This means they are conveying information and providing knowledge about the process.

2. The correct answer is D. When the theme of a speech is "Be all you can be. Join the Navy," it is meant to persuade. The goal is to convince the audience to join the Navy and take action based on the message.

3. The correct answer is D. A purpose can have an objective, a goal, or an intention, but it cannot be a bad dream. This option is excluded because it does not fit the definition of a purpose.

4. The correct answer is C. One of the primary goals of an informative speech is to communicate information accurately and clearly. This means presenting facts, explanations, or instructions without necessarily appealing to emotions, asking the audience to take action, or entertaining them.

5. The correct answer is C. Patrick Henry's famous speech with the theme "give me liberty or give me death" is a speech about concepts. It addresses the concept of liberty and the willingness to fight for it, rather than focusing on specific events, processes, or objects.
