Which statement best evaluates the effect of adding dialogue in the second version of the passage?
Passage 1:
Alex and I both laughed as we exited the ride. My queasy stomach
threatened to reveal my fake courage. Alex then informed me that the
next coaster had three loop-de-loops. He was so excited he pumped
his fist in the air. My stomach wasn't as excited as Alex, though. I had to think of some way
to think of some way to stall him.
Passage 2:
"You laughed so hard while riding that coaster!" Alex chuckled as
exited the ride.
"I couldn't help but laugh. It was awesome!" I smiled and swallowed
hard. My queasy stomach threatened to reveal my fake courage.
"Ready to conquer the next one? It has three loop-de-loops." Alex
pumped his fist in the air. My stomach churned at the thought of loop-
de-loops. “Of course, but i’m thirsty. How about we stop to get a drink, O. K,?” I had to keep my secret, and the only way was to stall for someone recovery time.

Just took the test

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.
