Question

Read the passage from “President Kennedy’s Special Message to the Congress on Urgent National Needs.” I believe we possess all the resources and talents necessary. But the facts of the matter are that we have never made the national decisions or marshaled the national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long-range goals on an urgent time schedule, or managed our resources and our time so as to insure their fulfillment. How does the repeated use of the word never affect the tone of the passage? The repetition contributes to a regretful tone by emphasizing that the US failed to act in the past. The repetition contributes to a frustrated tone by emphasizing that the US lacked ability in the past. 2nd choice The repetition contributes to an embarrassed tone by pointing out that the US was not responsible in the past. The repetition contributes to an angry tone by pointing out that the US refused to act quickly in the past.
