Imagine that you are giving a speech on solar eclipses. if you want to find some statistics on the frequency of solar eclipses, which of the following would be the best resource? a) atlas b) almanac c) periodical d) newspaper

The correct answer is B. Almanac

Explanation:

The type of source used to prepare a speech or write a text mainly depends on the type of content that needs to be included. Some of this sources include atlas that is a collection of maps and therefore offer mainly geographical information; periodical which are publications such as magazines, journals and newspapers that can focus on a variety of topics and offer information of different types; newspapers that focus on current events and almanac that is a annual publication with information related to weather and other phenomena such as tide and astronomical events including sun and moon eclipses, also almanacs using multiple graphics including statistics to explain the events and topic included.

Considering this, if you want to give a speech on solar eclipses and you need statistics on the topic the source you could use is an "almanac" because this is the only source that directly deals with astronomical phenomena and therefore it offers information graphics and statistics on solar eclipses.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
