Moon Speech

by: John F. Kennedy

"There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

Kennedy uses which stylistic structure in this speech?

A) persuasive narrative

B) chronological order

C) posing and answering questions

D) comparing similarities and differences

Use process of elimination to answer this question. A narrative is a story and JFK is not telling a story. There is also no chronological order. Does he ask questions? Yes, and he answers the key question "Why ... the moon?" throughout the speech. So C is your answer.
