Answer:

D). To persuade my audience that capital punishment fails to deter people from committing murder.

Explanation:

A purpose statement is described as a statement that primarily functions to define the topic and purpose of the speech or essay in a precise and compact manner. It reveals the key focus, direction, and objectives of the work that are going to be accomplished at the end.

As per the question, option D i.e. 'To persuade my audience that capital punishment fails to deter people from committing murder' reveals the purpose statement designed for a persuasive speech on a question of fact. <u>This would reveal the factual 'cause-and-effect'('capital punishment in preventing murders') direction that the speech would deal with. It would assist in establishing the credibility of the claim and convince the audience logically</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

miss Akunina [59]

Explanation: The first person point of view describes the narrator's perspective in Shania's diary because Shania relates her own story i.e the story was told from Shania's perspective.

Radda [10]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.

Meir Katz remained on the train. The last day had been the most lethal. We had been a hundred or so in this wagon. Twelve of us left it. Among them, my father and myself.

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that ______

A) few survived the horrific train ride.

B) the author and his father were safe.

C) Meir Katz was not as strong as he seemed.

D) Meir Katz was left behind to remove the dead.

Answer:

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that A) few survived the horrific train ride.

Explanation:

This excerpt makes one clear point. It's main purpose is to show how horrific the train ride was, especially its last night. Out of a hundred people who had been in the wagon, only 12 left. The author does mention that him and his father were safe. Yet, the most important piece of information - and the most shocking one - is how many people died. Therefore, letter A is the best option.
