Evaluating The Power of Mass Media and Social Media

Question 1 • Hopkins FA American Literature (2026-2027)

How does the repetition of the phrase "we must fight” support Henry’s purpose for writing?

Answer
A
It suggests that fighting is an option for the colonists.
B
It suggests that fighting will be successful.
C
It emphasizes that colonists want to fight.
D
It emphasizes that colonists have no choice but to fight.

Explanation

Repeating “we must fight” stresses that fighting is necessary, not merely one possible choice. The word “must” conveys obligation and urgency, supporting Henry’s purpose of persuading the colonists that they have no choice but to fight. Choice A is weaker because the phrase presents fighting as a necessity, not simply an option.
