Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:

President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.

The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.

Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

How does the sentence “Our mission continues” support the central idea of the speech?

It supports the idea that service people returning home will be called back out quite soon.
It supports the main point that this is an ongoing fight that America will not abandon.
It challenges the notion that Al-Qaida is an enemy worthy of the human and financial cost of war.
It adds to the idea that it is essential to remove any American military presence in other lands.

Answer 1

Question #1: Which answer is a complete and correct summary of this part of the speech?

The correct answer would be option D: "Unlike other countries that stay, it is time for these people in service to return home from war". In the speech, the president says several things, that other nations occupy the countries, that those soldiers a long distance from home, and that their families have grown in their absence, but, the main idea of the speech is to convey that the soldiers are finally going home after the war. Option A is incorrect because it is just a supporting detail, not the main idea of the passage, asi is the case with option B as well. Option C is incorrect because 9/11 is not mentioned in the excerpt.

Question #2: Which topic best relates to the central idea in this part of the speech?

The central idea of the speech is option a: going home, therefore it cannot be a topic that relates to the central idea, so it is not the correct answer. Options B is just a detail mentioned, not a supporting idea, therefore it is also incorrect. Option C is not a topic mentioned explicitly in that part of the passage, so it is also incorrect. The idea that is mentioned as a supporting idea in the speech, although it is not explicitly expressed, is that the soldiers have been traveling the world (as inferred by the phrase mentioned: "after 100,00 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history"), so the correct answer would be option D:"Traveling the world".

Question #3: How does the sentence "Our mission continues" support the central idea of the speech?

The central idea is that the soldiers are going home, but by saying that "our mission continues" it implies that it is not over, its just a "recess" so the soldiers may be going home after a long time, but it is not permanent, they will have to come back because the fight is not finished. Therefore the correct answer would be option A: "It supports the idea that service people returning home will be called back out quite soon". Option B and C are incorrect because the fight is not the main idea in the passage and option D is also incorrect because the military is not fleeing, they are going home to recuperate.
