Read the excerpt from "daughter of invention". meanwhile, yoyo was on her knees, weeping wildly, collecting all the little pieces of her speech, hoping that she could put it back together before the assembly tomorrow morning. but not even a sibyl could have made sense of those tiny scraps of paper. all hope was lost. "he broke it, he broke it," yoyo moaned as she picked up a handful of pieces. what conflict does yoyo face in this excerpt? a. yoyo is frustrated by her inability to write a good speech for the assembly at her school. b. yoyo is worried about insulting her teachers and peers with the speech she has written. c. yoyo is saddened by her father’s disapproval of the message in her speech for the assembly. d. yoyo is reminded of the terrors her father faced under the dictatorship of the dominican republic.

c. yoyo is saddened by her father’s disapproval of the message in her speech for the assembly.

In the passage, Yoyo is "weeping wildly", and she believes "all hope was lost". She is picking up scraps of paper that contain her speech hoping to be able to piece them back together. Because of this desperation to fix the papers and be able to read them, it can be inferred that she didn't actually tear up the speech. She also says, "he broke it, he broke it." Given the answer choices, it is assumed here that her father is the one who tore up the speech because of his disapproval. It does not mention anywhere her inability to write a good speech, insulting content, or anything that could awaken memories of a dictatorship.

i think it would be c. or a. i recommend a if it's not a than it's c if it's not c than it's b your welcome : ) sorry if you get it wrong

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.
