Read the excerpt from an essay about summer employment. a young person’s first job is often his first encounter with reality—a crash course on how the world operates. i harken back to my time behind the counter at a hectic pool snack bar. hungry patrons barked orders faster than i could operate the mini toaster oven, and items i pulled from the freezer seemed to melt before they reached little kids’ outstretched hands. despite the mayhem, my coworkers and i relished the camaraderie of our workplace as we labored to fill orders, stock sodas, and survive until payday. how does the author's word choice affect the tone of the excerpt? the words barked and labored impart a critical tone. the words harken and relished impart a nostalgic tone. the words hectic and mayhem impart a lively tone. the words hungry and survive impart a desperate tone.

explanation:

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.
