In a speech about voting trends, Michael cited recent statistics, but made no attempt to appeal to the audience's sense of patriotism or to encourage them to vote more regularly. What's Michael's general purpose of his speech? a. to persuade b. to inform c. to motivate d. to entertain

B is the answer.

Explanation:

First, it is necessary to summarize the main idea: Michael cited recent statistics with no appeal to the audience.

Options A and C ar incorrect because to persuade or motivate, it is necessary to appeal to the audience in some way, in this case, the patriotic feeling would be a good fit, but Michael did not take advantage of it.

Option D is also incorrect because of the context (it seems to be an election.)

Finally, option B is the correct answer because he wanted to inform the audience about the statistics and trends.

it might be feelings and action sorry if i am wrong

the correct answer is d. a discussion of specific uses of alliteration

.

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.
