Read the following excerpt from a speech made in response to christian
missionaries in 1805:
brother, you say there is but one way to worship and serve
the great spirit; if there is but one religion, why do you
white people differ so much about it? why not all agree, as
you can all read the book?
which statement best conveys how the author achieves his purpose in this
excerpt?
o
a. he uses the word "you" to indicate that the missionaries practice a
different religion.
o
b. he asks questions to challenge the beliefs of other american
indian groups in the region.
o
c. he repeats the word "why" to show that he has the answer to the
missionaries' questions.
o
d. he asks questions that are difficult to answer to the
missionaries understand his doubts.

I believe the best option to be letter D. He asks questions that are difficult to answer to help the  missionaries understand his doubts.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from the speech made by Red Jacket, a chief of the Wolf clan, in 1805. His purpose is to question the Christian missionaries' affirmation that there is only one religion to be followed and that Native-Americans' religion will keep them from entering Heaven when they die.

In this excerpt, Red Jacket asks the missionaries why they disagree so much about their own religion, why can't all Christians understand the Bible in the same way. He implies that, if the Bible and its teachings are supposed to be unquestionably right, then there should be no arguing between those who follow such teachings.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
