Question

read the excerpt from roosevelts \four freedoms\ speech

in the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

what effect does roosevelt hope to have on americans with this appeal to emotion?

• to convince them that they should be fearful should they decide not to fight
• to inform them that it is their duty to fight for democracy around the world
• to inform them that he is knowledgeable about what lies ahead for america
• to convince them that they must fight today to secure tomorrows freedoms

Explanation:

Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech uses an emotional appeal tied to the vision of a secure future with essential human freedoms. The excerpt frames the future as something to secure through action, so the goal is to persuade Americans that present action (fighting) is needed to guarantee those future freedoms. The other options are incorrect: the speech does not focus on fear of inaction, framing it as a mere duty without the emotional tie to future freedom, or proving his knowledge.

Answer:

to convince them that they must fight today to secure tomorrow's freedoms
