There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere man. which phrases from this excerpt support the narrator's distrust of human beings? select all that apply. "unselfish and self-sacrificing" "love of a brute" "directly to the heart" "frequent occasion" "paltry friendship" "gossamer fidelity"

The correct answers are:

"frequent occasions"

"paltry friendship"

"gossamer fidelity"

Because the narrathor refers to the fragility of the fidelity and the false friendship offered by the man, and that these are frequent occasions . He even give us the reasons to not trust him. And if you are a cat, as Pluto itself, you should be careful with humans around you, because you can't trust them as much as you love them.

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.
