only political leaders possess the ability to shape public opinion.
language can unite people but also carries the potential to mislead them.
emotion in language always weakens a leader’s credibility and ability to lead.
the purpose of rhetoric is to disguise the truth.

Explanation:

Question 1 (about "live within the truth")

• "To accept government propaganda unquestioningly" goes against the idea of truth (propaganda may be untrue), so eliminate.
• "To replace facts with faith" disregards truth (facts are part of truth), so eliminate.
• "To remain silent in the face of injustice" avoids acting on truth, so eliminate.
• "To act accordingly to personal integrity despite pressure to conform" aligns with living by truth (integrity and acting on truth despite pressure).

• "Only political leaders..." is incorrect as others can shape opinion too.
• "Language can unite people but also carries the potential to mislead them" is a common theme (language's dual role).
• "Emotion in language always weakens..." is extreme (emotion can strengthen leadership too), so eliminate.
• "The purpose of rhetoric is to disguise the truth" is incorrect (rhetoric can be used for truth too).

Answer:

D. To act accordingly to personal integrity despite pressure to conform.
