Answer:

The argument presented by Michael Mack in his speech can be considered a sound advice to college freshman as in his speech he opines that how can reading Shakespeare help them understand the real world.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Why Read Shakespeare' is an argumentative speech delivered by Michael Mack to the audience of college freshman at Catholic University of America.

The argument presented by Mack in his speech is not just to persuade the audience to read Shakespeare but the speech also served as a sound advice to college freshman in general. Mack argues that reading Shakespeare is not just reading a fiction for pleasure but it provides the reality about the world and also reveals our personality trait.

Taking an example of Macbeth, he asserts that the ambitious character is not just of Macbeth but is in all of us and understanding Macbeth will help oneself understand himself/herself better. And when one will be able to understand the reality, they will be able to cope with it.
