Brainliesttt asap : ) in his 2011 state of the union address, president barack obama said: "to attract new businesses to our shores, we need the fastest, most reliable ways to move people, goods, and information—from high-speed rail to high-speed internet. our infrastructure used to be the best, but our lead has slipped. the jobs created by the transcontinental railroad & the interstate highway system didn't just come from laying down track or pavement. they came from businesses that opened near a town's new train station or the new off-ramp. we've begun rebuilding for the 21st century. and tonight, i'm proposing that we redouble those efforts. we'll put more americans to work repairing crumbling roads and bridges. within 25 years, our goal is to give 80% of americans access to high-speed rail. within the next five years, we'll make it possible for businesses to deploy the next generation of high-speed wireless coverage to 98% of all americans. this isn't just about faster internet or fewer dropped calls. it's about connecting every part of america to the digital age." analyze the types of appeal used in president obama's statement. use your findings and examples from the text to explain whether this is an argument or persuasion. answer in a minimum of three complete sentences.

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
