Read the sentence from "the masque of the red death." what does the word revel mean? and the revel went whirlingly on, until at length there commenced the sounding of midnight upon the clock. a. wild celebration b. an appearance c. a party hat d. a type of dance

a. Wild celebration

A revel is a wild celebration. Your context clue here is the detail that it went "whirlingly on". This gives the image that things are spinning and it is something that could end at midnight. An party hat doesn't end at midnight. A type of dance is something that can spin, but it usually doesn't continue on until midnight. A specific dance type usually only last for a few minutes. An appearance does not make sense.

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.
