The correct answer is A. The most effective outline for the rest of the speech would be:

1. Industrial causes of war in the North a. [supporting details] b. [specific examples] 2. Agricultural causes of war in the South a. [supporting details] b. [specific examples] Conclusion: restate thesis

This is because Ophelia's speech is an informative speech which tends to inform the reader about the events that occurred, in this case, in the Civil War. Therefore, its purpose is to inform and not give a particular opinion or vision regarding the facts.

Therefore, since Option A does a review of the facts without interfering in opinions or interpretative issues, it is the correct option.
