Read the excerpt below and answer the question. To interrupt another, even in common Conversation, is reckon'd highly indecent. How different this is, from
the Conduct of a polite British House of Commons where scarce every person without some confusion, that
makes the Speaker hoarse in calling to Order and how different from the Mode of Conversation in many
polite Companies of Europe, where if you do not deliver your Sentence with great Rapidity, you are cut off in
the middle of it by the Impatient Loquacity of those you converse with, and never suffer'd to finish it-
Why does Franklin use satire and sarcasm in this excerpt?
O to illustrate the carefree nature of the Puritans
O to mock the Puritan communities for their customs
to display to the Native Americans why their customs were wrong
to show that Native Americans at times are more civil than Puritans

To show that Native Americans at times are more civil than Puritans.

Explanation:

Benjamin Franklin's "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America" was written to show the writer's appreciation of the Native Indians and their 'customs' as compared to the 'civilized' people like the Whites. In his 1784 prose, Franklin points out how the Indians were thought to be 'barbaric' while the whites think of themselves as the most civilized race.

In the given excerpt, Franklin shows the civilized nature of the Indians by recounting their behavior during any Council. He states that while normal "councils" of the British House or in companies in Europe are more accustomed to being met with 'constant conversation and at times even disrupted, the Indians show more civility in their behavior. He reveals, "To interrupt another, even in common Conversation, is reckon'd highly indecent." This sarcastic and satirical comment is to shows how Native Americans are more civilized than the Puritans.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/last option.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
