The correct answer to the question: What is the meaning of the excerpt, would be, D: Zeitoun´s business is thriving with the rebuilding of New Orleans.

Explanation:

This can be explained by taking into account several portions of the excerpt, and which hint to this answer. Number one, when they mention the arrival of money from government programs for rebuilding, money, that through the excerpt can be inferred, came into this company, as they were the ones rebuilding a big chunk of the houses that had been destroyed by the hurricane. The second hint, and the biggest one, that points to this answer, comes when the excerpt says: "But now things are moving. The city is rising again." This statement shows that not only is homelife back on track for those affected by the storm, but business as well, and this has been thanks to the increase of business in homebuilding, done by Zeitoun A. Painting Contractor LLC. The third hint comes when the company itself announces that they have been restoring 114 houses, and even bringing them to a better situation than they were before.

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.
