Which statement is an example of big-picture feedback? a. "your sentences are interesting, but many of them are short and choppy; be sure to vary the length of your sentences." b.

"it might be a good idea to read your paper out loud; you have several verb use errors that need to be fixed." d. "you offer great evidence in your essay but i'm not sure what your argument is; make sure that is clear to the reader."

D. "You offer great evidence in your essay but I'm not sure what your argument is; make sure that is clear to the reader."

Explanation: All other options draw attention to specific, technical issues in the essay that need to be addressed: sentence length, run-on sentences and errors in verb use. Only option D refers in a general way to the whole text and presents a global problem, of which the details will have to be discovered and sorted out by the student.

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.
