Read the excerpt from a student’s essay. As Rainsford enters the dining room, he immediately becomes aware of Zaroff’s expensive and sophisticated taste. He notes the decorations, the food, the drink, all of which are exquisite and advertise Zaroff’s privileged aristocratic upbringing. Rainsford is initially impressed by the general’s home and finds him to be a "thoughtful and affable host.”

Which revision would best help expand the ideas in the excerpt?

adding some of the dialogue between Rainsford and Zaroff
adding that Rainsford comes from a privileged background as well
adding that the residence is situated on a wild overgrown island
adding a more-detailed description of the decorations, food, and drink

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.
