Another kind of word-creation is the acronym, formed by combining the first letters or syllables of a series of words into one. examples are nato (north atlantic treaty organization) and nafta (north american free trade agreement). use a dictionary if necessary. what words are the basis of scuba? s for c for u for b for a for

The correct answer is Self / Contained /Underwater/ Breathing/Apparatus

Explanation:

As explained in the excerpt presented an acronym is a word that is formed by using the first letter or letters of other words and that becomes a word by itself. Int he case of the word "Scuba" this word is used to describe a type of diving in which divers use a system to breathe underwater which allows them to dive for a longer time without going to the surface. But besides this, the word "Scuba" is an acronym as it means Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus which describes the type of system used in this kind of diving. Therefore in this word, S stands for Self; C stands for Contained; U for Underwater; B for Breathing and A for Apparatus which creates the word "Scuba".

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.
