(HELP PLEAS) Read the following passage and answer the questions below.

Crunch Rocks Cereal Advertisement

Hey kids! I want to tell you about a new cereal straight from the rock piles of Georgia called “Crunch Rocks.” This cereal is crushed by the greasy care of sweaty, sledge-hammering Georgia miners. Each solid stone is carefully selected by the best-behaving criminals in the state and then pulverized into tiny kernels of gravel-like goodness to fill your cereal bowl.

With “Crunch Rocks,” you don’t have to worry about cavities because you won’t have any teeth! The rock pebbles of Crunch of Rocks will destroy them so you have nothing left in your mouth but bleeding gums. You won’t have to waste your time morning and night brushing and flossing, or ever smile for the camera again.

“Crunch of Rocks” is filled with tasty, hard center of delicious fiber and iron. Its multi-mineral composition will rough up your esophagus and then tear through your intestines. While Georgia isn’t the Sunshine State, the rocks in “Crunch Rocks” have spent centuries baking in the sunlight and are a great source of Vitamin D.

Be sure to place “Crunch Rocks” at the bottom of your grocery bad so it doesn’t smash your eggs and bread. “Crunch Rocks” can also be sued to line your fishbowl or fill potholes in your driveway.

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.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.
