What word fits best? WASHINGTON, DC-A emergency report released with (adulation, arduousness, austerity, celerity) by the Union of Concerned Dietitians stated that not only will the temperature of coffee increase
by nearly nine degrees by the end of this century, but also that the rise is directly (assimilated,
disdained, fomented, assuaged) by human activity. "At this point, there is no way to reverse the trend,
but we can
(reprove, mitigate, volatile, bastion) its effects," said UCD President Marilyn
Presber, who blamed the rising temperature on corporate coffee "super-heaters" such as Starbucks,
McDonald's, and Dunkin' Donuts, and added that if the public proceeded with (alacrity, ancillary,
prolixity, congeniality) to heat water short of its boiling point and pour "extremely chilled" milk into the
beverage, the overall temperature increase could be delayed nearly 150 years. "If we don't make some
(apathetic, scrupulous, austere, efficacious) sacrifices now, our children's children will be
living in a world in which it will be virtually impossible to avoid having the inside of their mouths burned."
However, many Americans remain skeptical of the coffee-heating issue, such as Tampa, FL coffee drinker
Henry Giesen, 67who calls it "an) (arduous, earnest, languid, flagrant)" hoax perpetuated by the
anti-caffeine lobby and the (iniquitous, incredulous, extraneous, scrupulous)"
carbonated-beverage industry."

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.
