Directions: Read the passage, and answer the question that follows. Clayton was aware of his churning stomach and his sweaty hands. Although his career was just beginning, he had
been nominated for Best Supporting Actor. His fellow nominees smiled and wished him well, although Clayton
sensed daggers in their stares. His heart was beating like a drum, and was so loud in his head that he almost didn't

shaking violently. He stumbled through his acceptance speech, relieved once he realized this was the big break he

the answer is a).

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.
