d. soundbite

A general statement about life and the world would be called a Sound bite. Thus, the correct answer here is Option D.

Explanation:

A small clip of a content extracted from a longer piece of speech or audio that encapsulates the subject matter is referred to as a sound bite. From the point of view of Journalism, it is a small phrase or statement that conveys the meaning and the summary of the information to the viewers or readers.

Though it sounds to be working fine in conveying the essence of a certain matter but it has its own limitations. Here, the sentence above gives us an idea that there’s a matter that talks about life and the world but the limitation is that we don’t get a detail about it.

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.
