In the third paragraph of John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, Kennedy makes a comparison between the world during his time and the time the nation was founded.

What idea is Kennedy most likely attempting to explain by this comparison?

Our country's ability to change the world with science is the way of the future.

We must be more generous than in past times if we are to end poverty.

Kennedy-

"The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe - - the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God".

I would say your answer would be C.
