His neck was in pain and lifting his hand to it found it horribly swollen. he knew that it had a circle of black where the rope had bruised it. his eyes felt congested; he could no longer close them. his tongue was swollen with thirst; he relieved its fever by thrusting it forward from between his teeth into the cold air. how softly the turf had carpeted the untraveled avenue—he could no longer feel the roadway beneath his feet! based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction? farquhar will find someone to him. farquhar’s quest to see his family will be successful. farquhar’s escape is a fantasy or a dream. farquhar will be pursued by the northern soldiers.

Farquhar will find someone to help him.

Explanation:

This is the most reasonable plot prediction. In this passage, we learn that Farquhar is injured, and needs urgent medical care. We learn that his neck is swollen, his eyes are congested and he is extremely thirsty. He will probably be unable to complete his journey on his own, which leads us to believe that Farquhar will find someone to help him.

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.
