Analyzing Meaning in Speeches

Question 1 • [ELA11] ELA 11, Sem 1 (26-27)

In "My Heart Is Bursting," which tactic does Set'tainte (Satanta) use to convey the central idea that the Kiowa people intend to remain on their own land?

Answer
A
Set'tainte (Satanta) deliberately avoids this idea throughout his speech.
B
Set'tainte (Satanta) issues threats about this idea throughout his speech.
C
Set'tainte (Satanta) subtly hints at this idea throughout his speech.
D
Set'tainte (Satanta) directly states this idea throughout his speech.

Explanation

Satanta makes the Kiowa people's intention clear rather than merely hinting at it: he says they do not want to leave their land and insists they will remain there. This direct statement supports the central idea that the Kiowa intend to stay on their own land. The best choice is “directly states this idea throughout his speech.”
