Answer
A
an appeal to uphold freedom and democracy
B
an appeal to patriotic duty
C

D

Explanation

Kennedy’s inaugural address appeals to shared ideals and emotions by urging Americans to defend freedom, serve their country, and help people in need. These appeals connect with patriotic and moral feelings. He does not chiefly ask the audience to accept him personally as a trustworthy president, so the correct choice is “an appeal to accept Kennedy as a trustworthy president.”
