Imagine you were generating ideas for a speech about the moon. You decide to include three main points in your outline: The moon is the only extraterrestrial body to have been visited by humans.

The moon's physical properties are very different from the earth's.

The gravitational force between the moon and earth affects the earth.

After a brief brainstorming session, you come up with the list of ideas below and begin to group them into your three main points. Which ideas are irrelevant to your thesis and will not group well with the focus of your speech? Select all that apply.

The moon has no atmosphere.
The moon is the second brightest object in the sky.
The moon no longer has an active, volcanic interior like the earth.
Apollo 11 was the first mission to land on the moon.
The moon plays an important role in mythology.
Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon.
The gravitational pull of the moon is slowing the earth's rotation.
Earth's moon is roughly the same size as Jupiter's moon Io.
The moon affects ocean tides.
The impact theory of the moon's origin is the most widely accepted.

Explanation:

the correct answer is a. how to make proposal that works.

indeed, the register is quite formal and the tone is especially objective as it avoids the use of the first and second person singular (i, you) and opts instead for the third person plural which is more impersonal and focuses on the data and the argument that is being developed by the author. the formality adds the impression of respectability to the work and the impersonality adds objectivity to it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
