/asap 20 pt's or *question: * read the passage from “the minister’s black veil.” what does the veil symbolize? title: *from “the minister’s black veil”* *passage: * mr. hooper had ascended the stairs, and showed himself in the pulpit, face to face with his congregation, except for the black veil. that mysterious emblem was never once withdrawn. it shook with his measured breath, as he gave out the psalm; it threw its obscurity between him and the holy page, as he read the scriptures; and while he prayed, the veil lay heavily on his uplifted countenance. did he seek to hide it from the dread being whom he was addressing? possible answers: a. the veil represents the minister’s failure in his vocation. his failure torments him and makes the people in his congregation believe that he is an evil man. b. the veil represents some evil deed hidden in the minister’s past that he is afraid to make public. this makes everyone in his congregation feel that he is a hypocrite. c. the veil represents mr. hooper’s sense of failure as a minister. it makes him unable to preach effectively and makes him afraid that god will punish him for not doing his job well. d. the veil represents the minister’s consciousness of sin. this awareness affects his preaching; it makes the words of scripture more difficult to understand; and it makes him afraid of god.

The answer is D, I took this quiz a while ago.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
