Read the passage from an op-ed piece. Piles of laundry, piles of dishes, piles of papers—we’ve all been there. At times, it can seem as if clutter magically multiplies by itself. However, there are good reasons to clear out the clutter, especially in the workspace. Too much clutter can drain energy, add to stress, and hamper productivity. One study has found that clutter problems are directly linked to procrastination, while others have found that clutter can negatively affect people’s mental well-being. To be more successful at work, people should take the time to clean out their clutter and maintain a tidy workspace. What evidence would best challenge the author’s claim? One tip to reduce clutter in the workspace is to only keep out items that are actually needed every day. Clutter includes mementos that remind people of happy times as well as to-do items waiting to be done. One recent study has found that cluttered, disorderly environments actually help spark creativity and fresh insights. Researchers have found that people in cluttered environments have increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

thick as the foliage of the waving wood; the figurative language that is used here is referring to a battle. there are two mountains that are facing opposite of each other, and they have armies better stick like a forest.

we need the speech to be able to answer your question, reply with it and i'll reply with the answer.

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.
