Read the adapted excerpt from “House Decoration” by Oscar Wilde. Currently, perhaps one of the most difficult things for us to do is choose a notable and joyous dress for men. At present we have lost all nobility of dress and, in doing so, we have almost destroyed the modern sculptor. And, in looking around at the figures which adorn our parks, one could almost wish we had completely killed the noble art. Which sentence correctly paraphrases and cites the excerpt? A. Men today dress notably and joyously, making their clothes so hard to sculpt that it has almost destroyed the modern sculptor whose figures adorn our parks (Wilde). B. Currently, perhaps one of the most difficult things for us to do is employ the modern sculptor, whose noble art we might almost wish we had killed based on the figures which adorn our parks (Wilde). C. At present we have lost all nobility of dress and, in doing so, we have almost destroyed the modern sculptor (Wilde). D. The fact that people don’t make an effort to dress strikingly means that our statues are much less beautiful, and perhaps this means we shouldn’t even make statues anymore (Wilde).

thats too much for me srry

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.
