The largest publisher of english language books is a. disney b. comcast c. a german company d. a chinese company e. an american company

The answer is Option C. a German Company.

Explanation:

It is surprising that the largest publisher of English language books in the world is actually a German company.  The German company is Bertelsmann and it can claim to be the largest publisher of English language books because it owns Penguin Random House. Random House was originally an American publishing company founded in 1927 but it was acquired by Bertelsmann AG in 1998.  Penguin was a British company that was also acquired by the German conglomerate in 2013.  It is estimated that sixty percent of English-language books are published through the "Big Five" corporate publishing houses: Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette, and Macmillan.

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.
