B. Home

Explanation:

Anne Bradstreet's poem "Verses Upon The Burning of our House" recalls the time when a fire burned down her house. But the main focus is not in the burning of the house but her dejection in losing her material things. She knows that it is against her Christian belief to think of material riches when there will be no poverty in heaven. In the particular line "Under the roof no guest shall sit, Nor at thy Table eat a bit", the roof connotes the sense of the homely feeling that a house provides. The word roof can only mean the home.

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.
