Select the correct answer. What is the main idea in this diary entry? April 27 Wow! We’re getting a new Labrador puppy—temporarily. The puppy will be a part of our family, and we’ll spend a lot of time training him. But we won't be able to keep him, no matter how much we want to. That's because we're training him for the Hearing Ear Association. A hearing ear dog assists a deaf person in much the same way that a seeing eye dog helps a blind person. It alerts its owner to important sounds, like a knock at the door, a morning alarm clock, or a whistling tea kettle. Before the program places a dog with a deaf owner, the dog spends a year with a host family. That's us! Our first job is to get the puppy accustomed to family life and to teach it basic commands. We’ll teach it to sit and to fetch. Later, we’ll train the puppy in special hearing skills. A representative of the Hearing Ear Association will deliver the puppy today. It's going to be an educational year for everyone! A. The writer is excited to get a new Labrador puppy as a pet. B. The writer's family will train a dog for the Hearing-Ear Association. C. The dog is a smart animal and learns about human habits quickly. D. The writer's family is against keeping a pet for more than a year.

The writer's family will train a dog for the Hearing-Ear Association.

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.
