Read the excerpt from an interview.

reporter: i’m standing here today with dr. kira klein, director of the international foundation for the study of viruses. dr. klein, what do you think of the recent report from the center for disease control on the likelihood of a flu epidemic?

dr. klein: with so many new flu viruses popping up each year, and with the prevalence of international travel, i have to agree that an international flu epidemic is a real possibility.

for which fictionalized story would this passage be most appropriate as source material?

a story about a spunky young woman who decides to become a doctor
a story about a doctor who tracks and treats the outbreak of a virus
a story about a reporter who decides to become a doctor after an interview
a story about a young man who catches a virus and visits his doctor

The second option, “a story about a doctor who tracks and treats the outbreak of a virus” is the most appropriate choice. That is because among all the four choices provided, it is the only possible ending or the only possible scenario that could succeed the story. The rest of the choices are very unlikely to happen.

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.
