SHOULD EVERYONE IN THE WORLD SPEAK ENGLISH?
My answer is "Yes". Eventhough language is one of the most valuable aspects of any culture, the mastery of a second language opens new opportunities for an individual in different areas such as art, culture, technical, scientific, or for traveling and tourism purposes.
The idea is not that the entire world speaks one and unique language as English, because each people have their own origins and customs that are highlighted and transmitted precisely by native language.
Language helps uniting societies, giving them unique and proper characteristics that determine the final identity of people. Language also helps creating strong ties in society such as religion aspects, family backgrounds, principles and behavior rules for people who share it.
This is why, for example, we see that in countries with a high volume of immigrants they create like a big circle in which they feel united and protected themselves and it's because of the language they share.
On the other hand, the fact that everyone should speak English as a second language is important because this gives the individual a double opportunity for working and getting involved in the society where he/she performs but at the same time keep the roots of his/her environment or culture.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided
The correct answer is B. The ANC tried all other options before becoming violent.
Explanation:
In a speech, the controlling idea is the main point in a speech, which includes the topic or issue the speaker will explain and the focus on it. Additionally, the controlling idea is explained using supporting ideas as well as evidence. This implies that in the speech of Mandela the focus is to explain how some of his actions were justified and why.
In this context, an appropriate supporting idea is "The ANC tried all other options before becoming violent" because the African National Congress led by Nelson Mandela first use non-violent strategies to fight against apartheid (system of racial segregation) in Africa; however, these strategies did not have a result and were responded by opposers with a massacre, which motivated the ANC to form a guerilla. Therefore, the actions of Mandela were justified or had a legitimate reason, and one statement that shows this is the fact the ANC and Mandela tried all other options before they considered violence, and violence occurred only because opposers responded with violence.
