Choose the meaning of the bolded vocabulary word in each passage in the next six questions. "they continued to walk onward, while the elder traveler (exhorted) his companion to make good "
a)
b) begged
c) urged
d) worthy

c) urged

In this sentence, exhorted is the action of the elder traveler. The use of the word "onward" suggests that the people have been traveling a long distance and still have a long distance to go. We also know that the elder wants the other traveler with him "to make good speed" or hurry up. Since exhorted is a verb, we need another verb to act as a synonym. Worthy is not a verb so it is eliminated immediately. Also, helped can be easily eliminated because the story does not make either person sound as though they'd be generous or helpful. The elder traveler does not sound as though he would not beg for anything. The correct answer is urged.

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.
