Question 389 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Carol is writing a rhetorical analysis about Shirley Chisholm’s presidential announcement speech and how it appealed to people’s desire for innovative ideas in governing. She wants to add evidence to support her analysis.

Answer
A
“I stand here now, without endorsement from many big-name politicians or celebrities or any other kind of prop.”
B
“But we are entering a new era in which we must as Americans demand stature and size in our national leadership.”
C
“Americans all over are demanding a new sensibility, a new philosophy of government from Washington.”
D
“The abiding concern of this administration has been one of political expediency rather than the needs of man’s nature.”

Explanation

Choice C most directly supports the idea that Chisholm appealed to people’s desire for innovative ideas in governing: she says Americans are demanding “a new sensibility” and “a new philosophy of government.” Those phrases explicitly call for fresh approaches. Choice A focuses on her lack of endorsements, while B and D address leadership stature and the administration’s priorities rather than a demand for new governing ideas.
