Question 2 • Language Arts 9

Which line from President Reagan’s Address at Moscow State University shows that one purpose of the speech was to build connections between the Soviet Union and the US?

Answer
A
I led my union out on strike, and I'm proud to say we won.
B
Democracy is the standard by which governments are measured.
C
Our ties to you are more than ones of good feeling; they're ties of kinship.
D
We Americans make no secret of our belief in freedom.

Explanation

The line “Our ties to you are more than ones of good feeling; they're ties of kinship” directly emphasizes a bond between Americans and the Soviet audience. That connection supports the purpose of bringing the two countries closer. The other lines focus on Reagan’s personal experience or on American beliefs about freedom and democracy.
