Which excerpt from queen elizabeth’s address to the troops at tilbury shares the common purpose of persuading her audience that she is willing to do what is best for england? we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety to take heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery. i am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die among you all. i know i have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but i have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of england too. by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of god, of my kingdoms, and of my people.

B is correct on edge :)

Explanation:

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
