Question

May someone help me with something!? :(

Answer 1

Sure, what's your question ?

Answer 2

Here it is...
In his 1962 "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech, President John F. Kennedy said:

"If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in the race for space."

What is Kennedy's claim in this excerpt?

Answer 3

This is English, close this and reopen it in the History section.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Well: Here is what the word "claim" means:

--> state or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof.
--> an assertion of the truth of something, typically one that is disputed or in doubt.

Answer 8

I want to know what you think it is first.

Answer 9

I am going to try to make it easier for you. FIRST, try to find a fact. A fact that JFK is stating. It can be more than one, do not worry.

Answer 10

OKay... Hold a sec for me to think..

Answer 11

Okay :)

Answer 12

I think the last sentence...??

Answer 13

Please copy and paste your fact(s) :)

Answer 14

The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in the race for space."

Answer 15

Allow me to further explain this in a simpler form of the word "Claim", When the question asks "What is his Claim?" and since we know that "Claim" means "an assertion of the truth of something", which means an altered version of the truth to fit your liking, aka, an opinion, therefor, the question asks "What's JFK's opinion of "The race for space" theory?

Answer 16

What ya think?

Answer 17

You know what a fact is, right? Just in case - something that can be proven or disproven. And remember that facts are not always true. An example of a fact would be "Grass is Yellow." You can disprove that grass is not yellow, it is green.

Answer 18

Well... I really dont see facts...

Answer 19

So how do you think JFK feels about "The race for space" theory?
