Which line of text from infinite jest best illustrates subjective narrative voice? his hands come together on the conference table’s surface. i am seated in an office, surrounded by heads and bodies. the room’s carbonated silence is now hostile. my uncle looks to athletics as if puzzled.

The correct answers are "I am seated in an office, surrounded by heads and bodies", and "My uncle looks to Athletics as if puzzled".

The subjective voice is a type of narration that comes from a point of view inside one of the characters in the story (first person subjective voice); or from a omniscient or semi-omniscient point of view that has insight to characters' feelings and thoughts (third person subjective voice).

In this case, it's a clear presentation of the first person subjective voice in both cases, marked by the use of the pronoun "I" and "my" respectively to tell the story.

Hope this helps!

bevy means a large group or thing of a certain kind.

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.
