Read the following excerpt from President Jimmy Carter's inaugural address
in 1976:
Two centuries ago our Nation's birth was a milestone in
the long quest for freedom, but the bold and brilliant dream
which excited the founders of this Nation still awaits its
consummation. I have no new dream to set forth today, but
rather urge a fresh faith in the old dream.
Why does Carter most likely use the word 'milestone?
A To focus on how far the nation has come since its founding
B. To suggest that the nation's birth was one in a long series of steps
C. To underscore how exciting the nation's creation was for the
founders
D. To imply that the nation's creation was an idea that has not yet
been truly realized


Sagot :

Answer: A. To focus on how far the nation has come since its founding

Explanation:

A milestone refers to a significant event in the life of a person or thing that marks a change from their previous status. For instance, marriage is a milestone, so also is moving out of your parent's house or having your first child.

After a milestone, a new chapter begins and it is this new chapter that President Carter was referring to. The U.S. began a new chapter when they got their freedom and President Carter is trying to bring attention to this to show how far the nation had come since its founding.
