Answer 1

Answer:

b or c

Explanation:

Answer 2

Henry's most likely purpose for this speech was C. to persuade the Virginia Convention to fight for freedom.

In March 1775, Patrick Henry gave a speech to the the Second Virginia Convention which had been called to decide whether Virginia would join the war effort against the British in the American Revolutionary War.

In the speech, Patrick decried the indecision of his brethren and told them that submitting to the British was not an option because their freedoms would be taken away.

He told them to join the other colonies which were already on the battlefield fighting for the freedom of the colonies so we can conclusively say that Henry was trying to persuade the Convention to fight against the British for freedom.
