Read the excerpt from chapter 2 of night by elie wiesel. there was a woman among us, a certain mrs. schächter. she was in her fifties and her ten-year-old son was with her, crouched in a corner. her husband and two older sons had been deported with the first transport, by mistake. the separation had totally shattered her. how does the word shattered affect the tone of the excerpt? a) the word suggests a tragic tone. b) the word suggests a fearful tone. c) the word suggests a pathetic tone. d) the word suggests a nervous tone.

A) The word suggests a tragic tone.

Explanation: in the excerpt we can see the description of a woman and her son, and also the brief description of a situation: that the woman's husband and her two older sons had been deported by mistake, separating her from her family. After that, we see the word shattered, which gives us the idea of how this situation really affected her, so the answer is that the word suggests a tragic tone.

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.
