Read the excerpt from "the railroad earth." i'm already picking up my brakeman's lantern from where it's been hanging on the door handle and my tattered timetable's been long in my backpocket folded and ready to go, everything tight, keys, timetable, lantern, knife, handkerchief, wallet, comb, railroad keys, change and myself. which phrase from the excerpt best supports the idea that the narrator has held the same job for several years? i'm already picking up my brakeman's lantern it's been hanging on the door handle my tattered timetable's been long in my backpocket everything tight, keys, timetable, lantern, knife, handkerchief

I believe the correct answer is: “my tattered timetable's been long in my backpocket folded and ready to go”.

In this excerpt from Jack Kerouac’s novel “Lonesome Traveler”, the phrase from which best supports the idea that the narrator has held the same job for several years is: “my tattered timetable's been long in my backpocket folded and ready to go”. There are two things which imply that he had this job – the poor condition of the timetable (tattered) and the fact that it was already folded and ready to go .

i used to know but i learned it a long time ago sorry

explanation:

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.
