when giving a speech about homelessness, trina describes jules, the youngest child of a family of four, all of whom have been living on the streets for six months. she talks about how jules has never had a bedtime story read to him or a warm breakfast to wake up to. in what two ways is trina using this example?
□ to generalize her ideas
□ contradict her ideas
□ to personalize her ideas
□ to support her ideas

Explanation:

Trina uses Jules's specific story to make the broad issue of homelessness relatable (personalizing her ideas) and to provide a concrete, human example that backs up her points about the hardships of homelessness (supporting her ideas). The example does not contradict her message, and it focuses on an individual rather than generalizing about homeless people.

Answer:

• to personalize her ideas
• to support her ideas
