You are writing an essay in class and you have 30 minutes in which to complete the task. because you only have a short amount of time, you should not prepare an outline before writing. false true

The answer to the statement: You are writting an essay in class and you have 30 minutes in which to complete the task. Because you only have a short amount of time, you should not prepare an outline before writing, is, False.

Explanation:

The reason for this statement being false is that when writing an essay, especially when faced with very little time, it is almost a necessity to create first an outline precisely because this technique will help the writer organize himself and thus work faster.

The idea of an outline is to make matters easier for a writer by helping him organize his ideas, brainstorm and generate an initial skeleton of the essay that will come later. By doing this, the writer is actually saving time, because once the ideas become clear, and are placed on the outline, the rest of the essay, which is basically filling out the blank spaces, will flow much faster. An outline helps save time and turn an essay into an excellent and very reliable document.

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.
