Refer to "youth and tobacco use" in the lesson for a complete version of this text. many informational texts use bulleted lists preceded by headings, subheadings, or sentences of text. for example: national, state, and local program activities have been shown to reduce and prevent youth tobacco use when implemented together. they include the following: higher costs for tobacco products (for example, through increased taxes) prohibiting smoking in indoor areas of work sites and public places raising the minimum age of sale for tobacco products to 21 years, which has recently emerged as a potential strategy for reducing youth tobacco use what is the connection between the sentence that starts, “national, state, and local program activities…” and the bulleted list? a)each bullet point offers a different opinion on the main claim of the sentence. b)the bulleted list provides examples to support the preceding sentence. c)the preceding sentence asks a question and the bulleted list answers it. d)the sentence presents a claim and the bulleted list addresses counterclaims.

The right answer is "b)The bulleted list provides examples to support the preceding sentence."

Explanation: The bulleted list presented in the text are examples of national, state, and local program activities designed to reduce and prevent tobacco use among youth.

In this way, the bulleted list reinforces the previous sentence because it supports it, so the reader understands what happened.

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.
