President Ronald Reagan gave a speech in 1964 titled "A Time for Choosing". In it, Reagan makes public his support to Barry Goldwater, who was the Republican candidate although Reagan was a lifetime democrat. The main argument of the speech was to stressed his own belief that the government should guide the citizens of the country, and should have the power to do so, specially considering the times the world was living, with communism trying to take over as the main political system. The sentences of the excerpt that contain this main argument are the following:
"There can be no real peace while one Amercan is dying some place in the world for the rest of us", this is an allusion to the Korean War and how important it was to know that the country was not at peace.
"If we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours..", this sentence reflects the idea of Reagan's speech of the need of an active government that will not stop fighting for the American values.
The main argument of Ronald Reagan's 1964 speech is given in options (a) and (d) or (i) and (iv).
Regarding the peace we would uphold, I'm curious as to which of us would like to visit a woman or mother whose husband or son perished in South Vietnam and inquire as to whether they believe that this peace should be preserved indefinitely.
It has been said that if we lose this war and thereby lose our way of freedom, history will record it with the utmost surprise that those who stood to lose the most did the least to stop it from happening.
We are at war with the most dangerous enemy mankind has ever faced in his long climb from the swamp to the stars.
As a result, options (a) and (d) are the correct sentences that describe the main argument of "A Time for Choosing."
