Explanation

In the English language, verbs are classified into three categories: auxiliary, linking, and action. To begin, auxiliary verbs include verbs such as could and would that complement other verbs. This is the type of verb described in the first row of the chart.

Secondly, there are action verbs that include verbs such as go, play, cut, etc, referring to an action. An example of this is the verb remains in the sentence "RoboCup will remain at the cutting edge of technological advances" which describes a specific action.

Finally, liking verbs connect this object or agent to another part of the sentence such as a predicate adjective or predicate nominative. This includes verbs such as the verb to be. According to this, the best definition for linking verbs is "connects subjects and complements".

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.
