how does the speaker develop kairos in this excerpt?
○ by describing how there is a shared faith within the
country
○ by aligning himself with the other democrats in the
audience
○ by outlining and communicating goals with a sense
of urgency
○ by identifying the need for new ideas and improved
institutions

Explanation:

Kairos refers to creating a sense of timeliness or alignment with the audience's context. The speaker says "Fellow Democrats" and aligns with their shared identity and goals, which matches the option of aligning with the other Democrats in the audience. Other options: describing shared faith is not the main kairos - building here, urgency isn't emphasized, and identifying needs is not kairos - focused.

Answer:

B. by aligning himself with the other Democrats in the audience
