You're going to ace this exam.
in kennedys inaugural address what was the first revolution president kennedy spoke of was it the american revolution,the emancipation proclamation,the war of 1812
volunteering to serve as poll attendants during an election
1. d. support his administration's policies
2. c. volunteering to serve as poll attendants during an election (because it involves citizens actively contributing their time and effort to the democratic process)
1. The answer to the first question is a. renew their spirit of service to the nation. In his inaugural address, President Kennedy was encouraging U.S citizens to think beyond their own self-interests and focus on what they could do to benefit their country.
To arrive at this answer, you should analyze the statement itself. President Kennedy is urging individuals to ask themselves what they can do for their country, implying that they should contribute in some way. Option a. aligns with this spirit of service, as it suggests a renewal of dedication to serving the nation. Option b. is not directly mentioned in the statement, and option c. focuses on conserving resources, which is not the primary focus of Kennedy's quote. Option d. assumes that citizens should support his policies, which is not explicitly stated in the quote.
2. The best example of U.S citizens trying to live up to the challenge presented by President Kennedy's statement would be c. volunteering to serve as poll attendants during an election. This action entails actively contributing to the democratic process by helping facilitate fair and smooth elections.
To determine this answer, it is important to understand the context of Kennedy's quote. He is calling for citizens to actively participate in serving their country, emphasizing personal contributions. Option a. involves pressing for energy tax credits, which may benefit individuals but is not focused on direct service to the nation. Option b. pertains to arguing for the elimination of a state income tax, which primarily affects individuals' financial situations rather than direct service to the country. In contrast, option c. aligns with Kennedy's call for citizens to contribute to the betterment of their country by actively participating in the electoral process.
