Write five statements that can be identified as either observations or inferences.

Observation: Observation is the process of watching someone or something. Often, observation is an informal action, but it can also be formal and involve data collection. An observation can also be the collected information itself. (The doctor gave the child a shot. The girl watched the soccer game very closely. The chemistry student studied her results from the experiment.  

Inference: An inference is an idea or conclusion that's drawn from evidence and reasoning. An inference is an educated guess. (His tire is flat, so he must have driven over a nail. It smells smoky outside, the neighbors are probably cooking. Erin is not in class, she probably has the flu.)

Explanation:

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.
