Question
select the correct text in the passage.
read the excerpt from jimmy carters farewell address to the nation. which phrase or sentence does the author uses to make an emotional appeal?
today we are asking our political system to do things of which the founding fathers never dreamed. the government they designed for a few hundred thousand people now serves a nation of almost 230 million people. their small coastal republic now spans beyond a continent, and we also now have the responsibility to help lead much of the world through difficult times to a secure and prosperous future.
today, as people have become ever more doubtful of the ability of the government to deal with our problems, we are increasingly drawn to single-issue groups and special interest organizations to ensure that whatever else happens, our own personal views and our own private interests are protected. this is a disturbing factor in american political life. it tends to distort our purposes, because the national interest is not always the sum of all our single or special interests. we are all americans together, and we must not forget that the common good is our common interest and our individual responsibility.
