The word "irrelevant" means to be unimportant or not related. Which detail from the presentation is irrelevant to the speaker's claim about wild animals as pets? A. Financially, these animals are quite an undertaking, as they can consume exotic diets or enormous quantities of food and can require specific, complicated enclosures.

B. More people in America own fish than cats or dogs, though, and fish have relatively short life spans.

C. Wild animals can transmit parasites and diseases that are quite destructive to humans.

D. When their instincts take over, undomesticated animals that have been kept their entire lives can turn on their owners in a heartbeat.

B. More people in America own fish than cats or dogs, though, and fish have relatively short life spans.

Explanation:

This detail has nothing to do with wild animals, therefore making this statement irrelevant to the topic of the presentation. Hope this helps :)

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.
