PART A: Which of the following best identifies the central idea of this speech? [RI.2)
While winning World War II was at the time the most important problem facing
America, the country can no longer ignore economic issues.
Securing equal employment opportunities for all American citizens would
ultimately lead to a vibrant middle class.
Without a guaranteed income, a person or group of people cannot possibly be
considered safe or secure.
The United States cannot be considered a success if some of its citizens live in
poverty, since those conditions do not allow for personal liberty.
