read this paragraph from the excerpt:
and the environment suffers, too. when people collect wood every day from their local forests to create charcoal or fuel for wood-burning stoves, it creates an unsustainable pace of deforestation that leads to mudslides, loss of watershed, and other environmental consequences. these stoves also contribute up to 25 percent of black carbon emissions, a pollutant that contributes directly to climate change.
why does the author place this paragraph immediately after the two paragraphs about diseases?
a. this paragraph makes a related but broader point about environmental harm rather than harm to individuals.
b. this paragraph is less important than the previous ones, so it is placed later in the order.
c. this paragraph makes a point that contrasts with the point of the previous two paragraphs.
d. this paragraph continues the previous two paragraphs by providing evidence for their idea.

some sort of sound device i believe.

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.
