Ramone is writing a paper about possible treatments for garden insects. Which of these sources would give him the most useful information. A. an agricultural journal with research about treating gardens for insects B. an encyclopedia article on the impact of insects on gardens C. a Web site that gives descriptions of every type of insect found in gardens D. an interview with someone who has insects in their garden

A,

Explanation:

This problem wants to find a credible source when finding treatments for garden insects. Why? We need it to be credible because it has to be most true and unopinionated, while staying as informative as possible. The best option is A, because while every other source is a encyclopedia article (Wiki is not reliable, also, it doesn't talk about treatments for insects), Web site (does not deem credibility and only talks about the types of insects in gardens) and an interview with some random person (who may not have had the expertise on treating insects.)

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.
