Annie has written the following thesis statement for her persuasive speech: “All nations must unite to address the 4 main causes of global warming: natural causes, pollution, increase in population, and deforestation.” Which of the following illustrates the most appropriate way to organize her speech? a. Annie lists 15 reasons for deforestation, and then explains her topic and presents her theme. b. After introducing her topic, Annie makes numerous PowerPoint slides of the areas hardest hit by deforestation, and thinking her audience will be bored, she doesn't cover natural causes, pollution, increase in population. She just makes a slide listing them as "other" problems. c. After stating her topic is global warming, Annie lists nations which are currently doing the most to stop pollution, but she doesn't ask the audience to do anything about it. d. After introducing her topic and making her thesis clear, Annie uses several supporting details and specific examples to encourage her audience to reduce global warming in each of the 4 areas mentioned in her thesis, then concludes by summarizing.

since it is asking for her reaction to elnora's trouble at school you can rule out any answers with a positive response (b). then you can rule out (d), this is because it does not show the mother's reaction but the daughter's response. that leaves you with two options (a) and (c), by looking at the options you can rule out (c) because it isn't referring back to elnora's issues at school.

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.
