We reached our new home about the time the State came in the Union. It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up. There were some schools, so called; but no qualification was ever required of a teacher, beyond "readin, writin, and cipherin." Which type of humor does Lincoln use in this excerpt?

Lincoln sarcastically calls his former classmates wild animals.
Lincoln downplays his own intelligence to illustrate the quality of his education.
Lincoln uses sarcasm to describe the quality of the schools where he grew up.

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.

Hi! your answer would be the women's association. here's why: "the childrens toys" should be "the children's toys". there's no apostrophe anywhere, and should go after "children". it does not go after the 's' because children is already plural, and you usually only add an apostrophe after a plural noun ends with an s, like boys or girls, for example. that is the boys' toys."the women's association", is correct. it's kinda like the one above. "the childrens' toys", is not correct. reason why is explained in the first one. "none of these" isn't correct, because "the women's association" is correct. hoped i and if you have any more questions, ask me. -dawn
