Eveningby victoria mary sackville-westwhen little lights in little ports come out, quivering down through water with the stars, and all the fishing fleet of slender sparsrange at their moorings, veer with tide about; when race of wind is stilled and sails are furled, and underneath our single riding-lightthe curve of black-ribbed deck gleams palely white, and slumbrous waters pool a slumbrous world; then, and then only, have i thought how sweetold age might sink upon a windy youth, quiet beneath the riding-light of truth, weathered through storms, and gracious in retreat. which of the following is true of the text in bold, "when little lights in little ports come out,"? a. it explicitly describes night at the portsb. it explicitly states that the ports are damaged. c. it implies the dangers of working at sea. (it is not this answer)d. it implies a relationship has ended.

answer: a seems the best answer, because the passage describes the water and ships in the ports, and doesn't mention that the ports are being damaged or that there are dangers of working at the ports

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.
