The questions below refer to the selection and “from towards a true refuge.” closing her speech, aung san suu kyi argues that — a. the light of freedom will conquer the darkness of tyranny b. she will continue to work for her people even though she knows the cause is hopeless c. darkness is stronger than light because one candle cannot light up a darkened stadium d. her western audience cannot truly appreciate the suffering of her people

The correct answer is A: the light of freedom will conquer the darkness of tyranny.

In the end of her speech, the politician Aung San Suu Kyi concludes by saying that the light of freedom has the power to spread over darkness and that "even the smallest light cannot be extinguished by all the darkness in the world" since darkness is the absence of light. Thus, light will conquer the darkness of tyranny but only if it grows because a "small light cannot dispel acres of encircling gloom". She also mentions that people has to get used to light and to learn to love it.

explanation:

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.
