excerpted from charter of the united nations
which best indicates that the primary audience is member states of the united nations?
the writer defines what we the peoples of the united nations have agreed to.
the writer informs the audience that representatives have gathered in san francisco.
the writer encourages human rights and social progress.
the writer provides information about the united nations.

Explanation:

To determine the primary audience is member states, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The phrase "we the peoples of the United Nations" and stating what they (member states' representatives) agreed to directly implies the audience is member states, as it's about their collective agreement (the UN Charter).
• Option 2: Just informing about representatives gathering in San Francisco doesn't specifically target member states as the primary audience.
• Option 3: Encouraging human rights and social progress is a general goal, not an indicator of the primary audience being member states.
• Option 4: Providing information about the UN is too broad and doesn't point to member states as the primary audience.

Answer:

The writer defines what we the peoples of the United Nations have agreed to.
