How are editorials better at communicating ideas than ? novels? are? ? a) editorials are published regularly in newspapers both in print or online. b) editorials are the opinions of the newspaper editorial staff. c) editorials present their ideas directly and concisely. d) editorials are less dramatic.?

A) Editorials are published regularly in newspapers both in print or online.

Let's just look at process of elimination. Option A is a true statement. Editorials are published regularly in newspapers in print and online. Option B is not necessarily true as the editorial staff doesn't always write them. They do choose what is published however. Option C is also not necessarily true. Editorials in highly respected newspapers are usually more direct and concise than editorials in a small local newspaper. Option D editorials are also not necessarily less dramatic. Since option A is the only one that is consistently true, it is the best answer.

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.
