Read the excerpt from the riddle of the rosetta stone by james cross giblin. however they obtained it, the greeks couldn’t resist adding their own original "explanations" to the definitions. for example, a greek writer named horapollo said correctly that the picture of a goose stood for the word "son." but then he explained that this was because geese took special care of their young, which was completely inaccurate. which part of a strong argument is the final sentence of the excerpt?

a. the counterclaim

b. the evidence

c. the reason

d. the claim

B. The Evidence

Explanation:

A. The Counterclaim is wrong because the Counterclaim is the sentence above that. Where Horapollo correctly said that the goose picture meant "son."

C. The Reason is wrong because this excerpt doesn't include the author's reason as to why his POV is right.

D. The Claim is wrong because the claim is the first sentence of the excerpt where the author states that the greeks added their own explanations.

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.
