Kenneth Thompson has been the mayor for eight years, and it is time for change. His policies for this city have been harmful and greedy. He approved the sale of 100 acres of natural land to developers. Now, our town's greenbelt will be replaced with stores and houses. Also, right after Thompson was elected, the high school's rating dropped because the students got lower state test scores. Those scores have not gone back up in the past eight years. He is hurting our schools and students. Thompson has begun to make people in this city angry, including me. He is up for re-election this year, but this year the citizens of this city should kick him out of office. Which idea from the passage is an error in logic? A. Thompson has been mayor for eight years. B. Thompson sold land to developers. C. Thompson caused lower test scores. D. Thompson is trying to get re-elected.

Thompson cause lower test scores.

Explanation:

because Thompson isn't a teacher and nor is he a student. In no way can he be the cause the students' declining grades.

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.
