Read the excerpt from "hokusai's the great wave” by neil macgregor. here’s a snatch of the letter from the president of the united states that perry delivered to the japanese emperor: many of the large ships-of-war destined to visit japan have not yet arrived in these seas, and the undersigned, as an evidence of his friendly intentions, has brought but four of the smaller ones, designing, should it become necessary, to return to edo in the ensuing spring with a much larger force. but it is expected that the government of your imperial majesty will render such return unnecessary, by acceding at once to the very reasonable and pacific overtures contained in the president’s letter . . this was textbook gunboat diplomacy, and it worked. japanese resistance melted, and very quickly the japanese embraced the new economic model, becoming energetic players in the international markets they had been forced to join. they began to think differently about the sea that surrounded them, and their awareness of the possible opportunities in the world beyond grew fast. what type of outside source does macgregor use in this excerpt? a college textbook a newspaper article a historical letter a japanese website

The Correct answer is C: a historical letter

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.

"it's more of an essay than story, but perhaps it is best described as a mood-piece: it uses a lot of musical imagery, not to mention sea imagery, religious imagery, and any other imagery that suits his purpose."
