Petroleum, coal, and natural gas are the fossil fuels. these fuels were formed from the energy of the sun. sunlight was changed into living plant tissue through the process of photosynthesis. that plant tissue was then consumed by animals, which were, in turn, consumed by other animals. eventually, when the animals died, their remains became part of the energy stored in fossil fuels.
which is the main idea of this paragraph?

a) animals and plants are dependent upon fossil fuels.
b) photosynthesis is the result of fossil fuel formation.
c)sunlight is the main source of all energy stored in fossil fuels.
d)the energy of the sun forms fossil fuels.

C) Sunlight is the main source of all energy stored in fossil fuels.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best summarizes the main idea of this paragraph. In this paragraph, we learn that fossil fuels were formed from the energy of the sun. However, this is not the only step that was necessary for the formation of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels required plants and animals to process the energy of the sun as well.

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.
