In monster, which statement best supports the idea that mr. sawicki's opinion of steve is valid? steve is talented and able to take mental notes. mr. sawicki is a teacher who leads a film club. steve planned to do a project over the holidays. mr. sawicki has known steve for three years.

In Monster, the statement which best supports the idea that Mr. Sawicki´s opinion of Steve is valid is " Mr. Sawicki has known Steve for three years".

The first answer cannot be the right one since being gifted with some skills and having a quick mind have nothing to do with being able to make a good judgement of another person.

In the second answer the fact that Mr. Sawicki works as a teacher and leads a film club does not imply that his opinion is valid because no job can validate the opinion of someone.

The information given in the third answer is irrelevant. Steve planning to do a project over the holidays does not give any information which back up Mr Sawicki's reasoning.

However,in the fourth answer, having known someone for three years means that you have spent a long time together  and ,thus, have built a solid idea of how the character of one person is.

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.
