What is most likely the intended effect of beginning the speech this way?

C. The audience will perceive the government as strong and united.

Churchill's speech serves the purpose of presenting the government as a united force. He does so by reminding the listeners that the government was born out of a moment of crisis for the purpose of uniting all parties and opinions. He also claims that the members are going to stand together and govern as one force.

the author develops a cold, and scared tone. making the reader shudder with fear, and suddenly become cold. i'm guessing that he's writing a scary novel, or maybe about a chilly december night.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
