Read this excerpt from canto xix of the inferno: and [pope nicholas iii] cried, "are you already standing there, are you already standing there, boniface? by several years the record lied to me! "are you so quickly glutted with the wealth which did not make you fear to take by guile the lovely lady and then lay her waste? " i acted like a person who's left standing — not comprehending what's been said to him — half-mocked and at a loss to make an answer. then virgil spoke up, "tell him right away, 'i am not he, i'm not the one you think! ' " and i replied as i had been instructed. what is the most likely reason dante includes the scene in which he is mistaken for pope boniface viii? a. because dante wants to show that not all sinners are unknown people b. because dante wants to impress virgil with his knowledge of sinners c. because dante believes nicholas should not be in hell d. because dante believes boniface should be in hell as well

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.
