The wind was loud, cruel, and fast. The sky was fearsome, and we stood aghast until my sister told us to hide in the basement shelter to reside. The basement shelter was damp and cold, and smelled faintly of dust and mold. When the wind went calm, we slowly rose to peak above, and assess our woes. It was unlike anything we had ever seen. To our home, the storm had been quite mean. It lay about in ruin and tatters. The walls were smashed, our belongings scattered. My sister was about to cry when out of the corner of her eye she spotted our mother who had just drove home to see her children standing alone. Amid the debris and their scattered treasures. To see them safe and sound was an absolute pleasure. We had lost our home, but had each other. My sister and I, and now our mother. Which of the following media components would best be used to contribute meaning to the last stanza of this poem? a A sound clip of the sound the tornado makes as it tears through a home b An animation of what a tornado looks like as it moves over the land c An image of a family embracing each other with a damaged home in the background d An interactive to sort different ways to stay safe during a tornado please help me

c An image of a family embracing each other with a damaged home in the background

Explanation:

This is true because, the last stanza was talking about the sister and her younger one coming out of the basement of their house to witnessed that, all their properties are in ruin. This made them to feel sad and dejected.

Their mother being concerned that, her children might have been harmed rushed home in her car only to witnessed that, they are safe even though they lost their house.

An embrace of the woman with her daughters happens to be the perfect media components that would best contribute meaning to the last stanza.

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.
