Which sentence from the passage best supports the idea that troy and javie have been friends for a long time?

Hello,

You are missing some information, but I think this question was part of my English last semester Final Examen, so I know the answer. Let me quote a paragraph from the passage:

"Man, that e-mail really ramped up my homesickness. Last year, we beat the Black Hawks in almost every game we played against them, even on their turf. I’m not sure I even want to be on a team here since I don’t know their stats and who they play against. What’s the point? It’s not like the challenge we had playing against the Black Hawks, and it definitely won’t feel the same since I won’t be playing with Javie. It’ll be weird since I’ve been playing with him since we were five when we started out in T-ball."

Correct answer is letter A - I'm not sure if yo have the same order, but this is the sentence: It’ll be weird since I’ve been playing with him since we were five when we started out in T-ball.

This statement allows us to believe that they have been friends for a long time and that their friendship is a very close one. The use of present perfect continuous, which describes an action that has been taking place between the past and the present, and the age he gives us (since they both were five), are proof of their friendship.

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.
