(1) the nation's energy use is largely dependent on fossil fuels. (2) these fuels are nonrenewable resources, and
they cause pollution. (3) we cannot continue our reliance on a fuel that will eventually run out. (4) thus, we must
find other ways to sustain our energy demands. (5) pursuing alternative fuel sources is the key to solving our
energy crisis
(5) currently, about 1 percent of energy in the united states is produced by the sun, and solar energy has the
potential to become a more widely used energy source. (7) through different technologies, such as solar cells,
scientists have learned to use the sun's radiation to create electricity. (8) solar energy is both inexhaustible and
clean. (9) the major limit to this alternative source is that equipment is expensive. (10) developing a cost-effective
way to harness the power of the sun will be a significant development in solving our energy crisis.
which statement introduces a new counterclaim to the author's position?
batteries are being developed to harness the sun's power for use at a later time.
the production of solar energy is relatively quiet, reducing noise pollution
solar panels can be placed in remote areas, which is more cost effective than installing high-voltage wires
the use of solar energy is especially limited in areas that do not get regular sunlight

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.

romeo and juliet, family means a lot more than a husband, wife, and 2.5 kids. "family" means everyone from the head of the household down to the lowly servants—anyone who could possibly owe any the capulets or montagues loyalty. if you're thinking "street gang" or "mafia movie," you're not too far off. that's why romeo and juliet's little love affair isn't just going to get them grounded; it's a betrayal of absolutely everything—like dating someone from a rival school or, yeah, a rival gang. we might think of family as a place of refuse and security, but, in romeo and juliet, kinship is more often a source of danger and battle.
