Process of elimination can be a helpful strategy for questions where you have more than one right answer. Let's use the Odyssey, a famous epic, as a way to eliminate some answers. The Odyssey is not written in iambic pentameter, nor does it have a rhyme scheme. It also does not exclusively focus on a mythological story. It is a narrative (story), it does originate from the oral tradition, and it does revolve around the exploits of a central hero (Odysseus). Unlike epic poetry, ballads have a rhyme scheme but do not revolve around the exploits of a central hero. For example, Poe's Annabel Lee is a ballad. It has a rhyme scheme. It focuses on the speakers love for Annabel Lee.

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.

for this case, we must find the number of deaths per day of the year 2015, in automobile accidents, knowing that 32,400 people died.

knowing that the year 2015 had 365 days we have the following division:

where "x" represents the number of deaths per day.

rounding off we have:

approximately, 89 people per day died in 2015

answer:

89 people per day
