The claim which explains how weather differs from climate is the first one:

Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place, and climate is weather conditions in an area over a longer period of time.

Explanation:

We can say that weather refers to the variations in atmosphere that we can observe in a short-term basis. Associated with wind, visibility and temperatures, among other things, weather concerns today, tomorrow, or a couple of weeks, for instance.

Climate refers to a weather-related average, and it is usually reached over the period of 30 years. By collecting weather statistics and analyzing data throughout the years we can reach certain conclusions concerning the climate of a country or region in the world. Words such as humid, dry, hot, and cold are normally associated with climate.

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.
