Which of the following would not be considered a leap of logic? journey to the center of the earth.
a. that dagger had never been in the possession of the pacific and taciturn hans. i knew him and his habits, too well.
b. it was so like our starting point, that i could scarcely doubt the reality of our position.
c. "not at all. there is a very simple explanation, this must have belong to hans"
d. " harry," he cried "we are now on the verge of a great discovery."
e. none of the above

"Not at all. There is a very simple explanation, Harry This must have belong to Hans" will not be considered a leap of logic.

Explanation:

This was said by Lidenbrock in jest since he was comparing the Hans size with others. Lidenbrock has no idea on Hans since they met only on the idea and he wanted to mock him for replacing his son.

So there is no way that it would be logically correct for Lidenbrock to speak about Hans to Harry. While Harry and Axel laughs at the joke, Hans show slight anger at Lidenbrock and calls him an Old Man.

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.
