Read the excerpt from "the role of social media in the arab uprisings" by heather brown, emily guskin, and amy mitchell. in july 2012 a report was published by the united states institute of peace. . . . the study suggests that the importance of social media was in communicating to the rest of the world what was happening on the ground during the uprisings. . data from the pew research center’s global attitudes project at least somewhat supports this conclusion with its findings that the majority of egyptians are not online. nearly two-thirds (65%) of the total population do not use the internet. when looking specifically at those with a college education, use of social media for obtaining political information is more prevalent than in other segments of the population. though most of the country is disconnected from the internet, 84% of those who are online say they visit social networking sites for news about egypt’s political situation. these findings point to social media’s important role in spreading information, but do not necessarily indicate that social media was a mobilizing force in the uprisings. how do the authors use statistics to support their claim? to include ideas about how social media can authoritarian regimes remain in power to emphasize that egyptians, even those who are highly educated, mistrust social media to illustrate that social media motivated average egyptians to take part in the uprisings to show that even though social media use was limited, it was often directly connected to politics

Which two parts of this excerpt from queen elizabeth i's "speech to the troops at tilbury" illustrate that the speech is a persuasive text? my loving people, we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but i assure you i do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. let tyrants fear, i have always so behaved myself that, under god, i have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore i am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my god, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. i know i have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but i have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of england too, and think foul scorn that parma or spain, or any prince of europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, i myself will take up arms, i myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. i know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and we do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. in the mean time, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my god, of my kingdom, and of my people.
