Question

inaugural address, jan. 20, 1961
john f. kennedy
1 we observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom — symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning — signifying renewal, as well as change. for i have sworn before you and almighty god the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.
2 the world is very different now. for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe — the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of god.
3 we dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of americans — born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage — and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
and so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country
which concept is most fully promoted in this sentence?
a fellowship
b inquiry
c nationalism
d service

Explanation:

The sentence "ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country" emphasizes the idea of citizens contributing to their country, which is the concept of service. It is not about fellowship (friendship - like relationships), inquiry (seeking knowledge), or nationalism (excessive pride in one's nation in a narrow - sense here).

Answer:

D. service
