Explanation:

To find the most adequate conclusion, we must be familiar with the basic ideas mentioned in this paragraph.

First, there is an introduction, where the problem is addressed. This claim is supported by an evidence, which is essential in writing.

Then, a potential cause of the problem is identified - the lack of public speaking training in high schools.

Finally, a conclusion should be written in the form of a suggestion, offering a solution to the identified cause.

Answer A. could be included in text, but it should be in the very beginning, when the author spoke about Americans' fears. It definitely doesn't belong in the conclusion.

Answer B. represents the author's personal experience; it doesn't offer a solution as the conclusion should.

Answer C. could be regarded as acceptable conclusion, but it's not coherent to the previous sentence. It offers a good advice to an individual, but it doesn't solve the problem on school level.

Finally, answer D. offers a solution that could solve the problem since it is pointed directly to the source of the problem - inadequate high school curriculum.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
