Read this passage from "The American Dream."One of the first things we notice in this dream is an amazing universalism. It does not say some men, but it says all men. It does not say all white men, but it says all men, which includes black men. It does not say all Gentiles, but it says all men, which includes Jews. It does not say all Protestants, but it says all men, which includes Catholics.
Answer
A
It supports key points by connecting them.
B
It states rational ideas to support a claim.
C
It convinces people that the ideas are true.
D
It connects the ideas to people in a specific place.
Explanation
The passage repeats the same pattern to connect the broad claim of “universalism” to specific examples: Black men, Jews, and Catholics are included in “all men.” These examples support the key point that the dream is meant to include everyone, so A is correct.
