Read the paragraphs from a story. All her life, Natalie had lived in a place with plenty of hills and trees. She loved the ups and downs of that land. The steep hills and woods
offered great places to hide. In the summer, her family sometimes visited the beach. She loved sitting on the beach and looking at the ocean.
But now Natalie's family had moved. This new place was far from the hills of her old home and far from the ocean. From her new home,
Natalie could look across a huge field of wheat. Like the ocean, the field reached in all directions. Natalie thought that maybe she could grow to love
this new place, too.

b

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.
