WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Read the excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy."

An experiment seemed the best way to answer this question. Larry rigged up a disguise from spare items around the house. Instead of his usual yellow stocking cap, he wore a wide-brimmed straw hat. He changed into baggy clothing that he had never worn before. And to top off the disguise, he added a green and orange Halloween mask left behind from some party. In this outfit, Larry walked out of the house, being careful to change his walk by pretending to limp. To his amazement, the colony stayed perfectly calm.

Explanation:

Since cause-and-effect/causality is defined as one event directly contributing to the outcome of another event, and that outcome depends on the initial action that was done, the answer would be the first statement.

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.
