4. Which statement best explains why Bates decided to teach maximum-security prisoners?
A. She had never taught in a prison before and wanted to leave her comfort zone.
B. She wanted to continue teaching her student, Don, who was sent to a super max
unit.
C. She felt obligated to take on the challenge despite her reservations about
teaching in a super max unit.
D. She hypothesized that maximum-security prisoners had the greatest need for
educational programs.

B. She wanted to continue teaching her student, Don, who was sent to a super max  unit.

Explanation:

Professor Laura Bates was a professor teaching William Shakespeare to prisoners who wanted to get a degree. But the disappearance of one of her students led her to the super-max unit, where she began a new phase of teaching, which is what her book "Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years in Solitary with the Bard." is based on.

Laura, in conversation with NPR's Michel Martin, revealed that she came across the super-max unit by chance. One of her prisoner students, Don, was missing from class, leading Laura to ask around. When she was told that Don had been shifted to the super-max unit where there is no education, she immediately took it upon herself to try to teach the inmates about Shakespeare. And that was why she decided to teach the maximum-security prisoners.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

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.
