<span>After Jenkins's untimely death, Lieutenant Carroll leads the surviving soldiers in a prayer for him. He calls Jenkins a ‘fallen angel warrior,’ which is the basis for the title of the novel. Carroll explains that this description refers to the extreme youth of the soldiers - these are boys, not men, fighting the battles. The theme of youth and lost innocence is omnipresent throughout the novel. It is a product of Myers’ own experience in the Vietnam War and the fact that the average age of the soldiers who died in combat was less than 20 years old. Most of the men do not want to process the tragedy of Jenkins and what waits for them in this war.</span>

Gisella is planning a speech advocating that all students be required to take two years of a foreign language prior to graduatio
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Gisella is using the <u>primacy principle.</u>

Explanation:

As Gisella knows that the audience is against her position, she presents her main argument for students taking two years of a foreign language before graduating at the beginning of her speech so that the audience remembers the main point of taking these classes.

In other words, the primacy principle states that a person mostly remembers what the speaker says at the beginning of the speech, and the person will retain less information as time goes by. That is why Gisella must present her main argument at the beginning of the speech.

(b).

He tried to emphasize that  the old names would readily come to mind before remembering the new writers on the block.
