What would be a benefit of reading this text rather than listening to an audio version of it? a) the reader could analyze the text features in the excerpt. b) the reader could visualize the description given. c) the reader could set his or her own pace and re-read parts for clarity. d) the reader could hear the sounds of the political protest.

C. The reader could set his or her own pace and re-read parts for clarity.

Explanation:

C. The reader could set his or her own pace and re-read parts for clarity.

Analyzing text features like bold letters or underlined words help in understanding oral conversation rather than descriptive scenario.

The reader can also visualize on hearing the text.

Hearing sounds of the political protest while reading does not benefit the reader about the text.

The best option is C. It explains how reading helps more than listening because sometimes we are not listening carefully or thinking about something else. But by reading over and over we get the exact picture of the text.

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.
