Read the passage from the american plague. no one would ever know precisely how many philadelphians died of yellow fever in 1793. many of those who traditionally kept such count—ministers, sextons, and city officials—had either fled the city or been ill themselves. the best estimates put the number of victims at between four and five thousand men, women, and children. what was clear to all was that life would never be the same. the fear had gone too deep, the losses were all too real and personal. which statement summarizes the central idea of this passage? the yellow fever epidemic had lasting consequences for the city. ministers, sextons, and city officials should have stayed in the city. the 1793 yellow fever epidemic was the deadliest plague the city had faced. men, women, and children were afraid to return to the city after the plague.

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.
