Select the correct answer.
Read the excerpt from President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address. Which statement best describes the main message of the passage?
In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each
generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the
call to service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need-not as a call to battle, though embattled we
are-but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"-a struggle
against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
A. War is the only way to solve the problems of the world.
OB. People should work together to better their society.
OC. Americans are incredibly loyal to their country.
D. The US government should help those in need.
