In this excerpt from Winston Churchill's "Their Finest Hour", speech presented during World War II, the most likely effect of ending the speech this way is option A. The audience members will be inspired to hope for victory and protect their allies. This speech was given on June 18, 1940. Germany had attacked European countries in a "lightning war". France and the United Kingdom were the hope of Western Europe. But Paris fell on June 14 and so did the organized French resistance. There was silence in Europe, and the United Kingdom was the only hope. So, Winston Churchill delivers this speech, one of his greatest, to instill hope,appealing to peoples' logic and emotion.
