Read the excerpt from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech "The Struggle for Human Rights.”As I see it, it is not going to be easy to attain unanimity with respect to our different concepts of government and human rights. The struggle is bound to be difficult and one in which we must be firm but patient. If we adhere faithfully to our principles I think it is possible for us to maintain freedom and to do so peacefully and without recourse to force.The future must see the broadening of human rights throughout the world. People who have glimpsed freedom will never be content until they have secured it for themselves. In a truest sense, human rights are a fundamental object of law and government in a just society. Human rights exist to the degree that they are respected by people in relations with each other and by governments in relations with their citizens.

A
Roosevelt uses anecdotal evidence by discussing how other countries have approached human rights struggles in the past.
B
Roosevelt uses logical evidence by explaining that, once people have seen these freedoms, they will want them for themselves.
C
Roosevelt uses anecdotal evidence by sharing that, because human rights make government work, they must be part of the law.
D
Roosevelt uses logical evidence by referring to data about peaceful struggles for human rights around the world.
