Question 2 • SS - TX-English II B

Which statement is true?

Answer

Kennedy’s delivery was as important to the success of his speech as the words he chose to say.

Kennedy’s speech was short because he wrote his speech only a couple days before the inauguration.

At the time of Kennedy’s election, America was a peaceful and prosperous country.

John F. Kennedy’s speech was criticized for having random references and scholarly words that most of his audience could not understand.

Explanation

Kennedy’s inaugural address succeeded through both its memorable language and the way he delivered it. Its carefully prepared, forceful presentation helped the audience connect with its message, so delivery mattered alongside the words. The other statements are inaccurate: the speech was not written only a couple of days before the inauguration, and America faced Cold War tensions rather than being wholly peaceful.
