What type of conflict is described in the passage?
the rain was getting heavier with every passing minute. claire stared out the window nervously, hoping that the rain would soon slow down. her son jamie was in school, and she had to go get him. classes were let out early due to the storm, and jamie’s teacher told claire she should pick up her son as soon as possible. claire knew that waiting to pick up jamie wasn’t a good idea, so she rushed out with her keys and umbrella.
the rain was so heavy that claire could barely see beyond her windshield. everyone was trying to get home, and the roads were jam-packed. she felt a sense of dread for her son. she knew he was a strong child, but he had never faced a situation like this. the trees swayed heavily in the wind. claire was afraid that one of them might uproot and fall onto her car. but she couldn’t worry about that at the moment because reaching jamie was the most important thing.

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.
