Read the passage. what tone does president eisenhower use in this speech, and how does the tone affect the purpose of his speech?
occasional pages of history do record the faces of the ”great destroyers” but the whole book of history reveals mankind’s never-ending quest for peace, and mankind’s god-given capacity to build.

it is with the book of history, and not with isolated pages, that the united states will ever wish to be identified. my country wants to be constructive, not destructive. it wants agreement, not wars, among nations. it wants itself to live in freedom, and in the confidence that the people of every other nation enjoy equally the right of choosing their own way of life.

so my country’s purpose is to us move out of the dark chamber of horrors into the light, to find a way by which the minds of men, the hopes of men, the souls of men every where, can move forward toward peace and happiness and well being.

in this quest, i know that we must not lack patience.

i know that in a world divided, such as our today, salvation cannot be attained by one dramatic act.

i know that many steps will have to be taken over many months before the world can look at itself one day and truly realize that a new climate of mutually peaceful confidence is abroad in the world.

but i know, above all else, that we must start to take these steps—now.

a. a playful tone to persuade the world to disregard the isolated instances when the united states used nuclear technology
b. a pacifying tone to convince the audience that the united states will use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and not for destruction
c. a pessimistic tone to indicate that the united states regrets having invented nuclear technology
d. a rational tone to describe the failure of the united states to employ nuclear technology successfully
e. an indignant tone to criticize the world for its mistrust in the united states to use nuclear technology peacefully
