Rhetoric in Reagan's Address at Moscow State University

Question 8 • MO-English Language Arts 9 B-CR

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
We Americans make no secret of our belief in freedom.
C
Our ties to you are more than ones of good feeling; they're ties of kinship.
D
Democracy is the standard by which governments are measured.

Explanation

The question asks which line shows Reagan wanted to build connections between the Soviet Union and the United States. Calling the relationship “ties of kinship” directly emphasizes a bond between the two peoples, so choice C is correct. The other lines focus on Reagan’s personal history or on American beliefs and democracy rather than on a connection between the countries.
