Which choice is an effective strategy when trying to convince an unwilling or disagreeable audience?
A.
Do not expect the members of the audience to change their minds after the speech. Look for small gains, like a simple nod of approval.
B.
Before the speech, tell the members of the audience how much you know about the topic to convince them of your knowledge.
C.
Keep the speech short and simple. An unwilling audience can never be persuaded.
D.
Use inflated language to convince the audience you know more than you actually do.

A is the correct answer

Answer:

A. Do not expect the members of the audience to change their minds after the speech. Look for small gains, such as a simple nod of approval.

Explanation:

Members of an unwilling audience would take time to convince. It is best to look for the small gains in parts of the audience, use these as an "in" with the crowd. When performing your speech it is, of course, good to use inflated language but not to the extent that you can't verify your knowledge. An unwilling audience may be difficult to convince but it is never impossible. And, discussing your knowledge with the audience before is not an effective strategy. Your words should show your knowledge.

From What is a Desert? by Emilia Jackson

Deserts are often described as hot and dry, but only one of those is true all the time. There are hot deserts, but cold deserts exist as well. Some areas, such as parts of Greenland, can have winter temperatures as cold as –2 degrees Celsius! Deserts are defined as areas with very little rain and snow—less than 26 centimeters per year, on average. Although there is usually very little water available in deserts, many plant and animal species make these areas their home.

From Desert Adaptations by Diallo Abara

It may seem surprising that plants and animals can live in the desert. After all, plants and animals need water to survive, and the very definition of a desert is that it is a place with hardly any water. In addition, many deserts are extremely hot during the day. How do plants and animals survive in this harsh climate?

Both plants and animals have adaptations—either behaviors or parts of their bodies—that help them to live in the desert. For example, fennec foxes have large ears that allow heat to leave their bodies more easily. Camels store fat in their humps, which their bodies break down into food and water when those provisions are unavailable. Many small desert animals stay out of the hot sun during the day and come out to eat at night.

How is Jackson’s purpose different from Abara’s purpose?

Jackson provides information about desert climate, while Abara explains how animals can live in the desert.

Jackson gives details about the areas of the world where deserts are found, while Abara explains what a desert is.

Jackson explains how much precipitation falls in a desert, while Abara relates what animals need to survive.

Jackson describes winter desert temperatures, while Abara explains how daytime and nighttime temperatures differ.

The Beggar and the King

by Winthrop Parkhurst

[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]

[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]

THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.

THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?

THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.

THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?

THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.

THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.

THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.

THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?

THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.

THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.

THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.

THE KING: Then bring out the spears.

THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.

THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.

THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.

THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.

THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.

THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?

THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.

THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.

THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.

THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.

THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.

THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.

THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.

THE KING: I am listening.

THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.

THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.
In The Beggar and the King, what do the servant's responses to the king reveal about the servant?

He believes that the king is unfit to rule.

He is baffled by the beggar's return.

He is protective of the king's feelings.

He feels badly for the beggar's fate.

Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

Use the text Law of the Land to answer the question.

Law of the Land = The United States Supreme Court is the nation’s highest court. It heads the government’s judicial branch (see “Government Branches”). The court’s job is to solve disagreements. It hears around 80 cases a year. These cases affect citizens’ rights. They also raise important questions about the law. The court is made up of nine
judges, called justices. Each is picked by the president and approved by the Senate. Justices may serve for life. The Supreme Court was created in 1789. That was two years after our country’s founders wrote the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution lays out rules for how the government should work. The Supreme Court’s role is to ensure the president and Congress follow the Constitution. The court can tell the president if
his or her actions are allowed. It can also tell Congress that a law is unconstitutional.
Historic Decision Supreme Court rulings affect all Americans. One crucial case was Brown v. Board of Education, in 1954. Oliver Brown had sued the school system in Topeka, Kansas. His daughter, Linda, could not attend the school closest to her home. It was an all-white school. Linda was black. Her father thought this treatment was unfair. The Supreme Court heard Brown’s case. The court ruled that the Constitution gives equal rights to all children in the U.S. The court said having separate schools for black and white children was unconstitutional. The case helped to end segregation in U.S. public schools. "The results still touch our lives today." —By Brian S. McGrath

A Fall Display

In some parts of this country, Fall is the most colorful season of the year. It is the time when leaves change color. As colder temperatures blow in the green leaves are transformed into beautiful shades of yellow, red, and orange. How splendid and colorful the fall leaves become depends on what the weather was like in the summer. When summer brings warm, sunny days and crisp cool nights, the leaves in fall are more colorful. Rain also plays a role. If it rains too much or not enough over the summer the fall leaves may not be as bright. Many people will enjoy outside to see fall's beautiful display of color. But do you know what happens next? All of those beautiful leaves fall out of the trees. And then its time to bring out the rake!
