Read the excerpt from "Seventh Grade.”

Mr. Bueller looked at Victor and Victor looked back. Oh, please don’t say anything, Victor pleaded with his eyes. . . . Mr. Bueller shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work. He remembered his college years when he dated a girlfriend in borrowed cars.

How does Mr. Bueller’s decision not to embarrass Victor advance the plot of the story?

It adds to the conflict because Victor will have to admit to Teresa that he doesn’t speak French.
It leads to a resolution by making Victor look good in front of Teresa and giving him an opportunity to be close to her.
It creates a turning point for Mr. Bueller because it helps him end his problem with Victor’s classroom behavior.
It develops the exposition by showing what middle school teachers and classes are really like.

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.

everyman: morality play

which phrase in this excerpt from the play everyman refers to god's judgment of people's souls after their death?

messenger: . .

ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,

which in( the end) causeth thy soul to weep,

when the body lieth in clay.

here shall you see how fellowship and jollity,

both strength, pleasure, and beauty,

will fade from thee as flower in may.

for ye shall hear, how our heavenly king

calleth everyman to a (general reckoning):

give audience, and hear what he doth say.

god: i perceive here in my majesty,

how that all the creatures be to me unkind,

living without dread in worldly prosperity:

of (ghostly sight) the people be so blind,

drowned in sin, they know me not for their god;

in worldly riches is all their mind,

they fear not( my righteousness), the sharp rod;

(my law that i shewed), when i for them die

hopefully this !
