Paragraph Two Noah began racing go-karts when he was just six years old. Noah has
traveled to other states to race, win, and finish in the top five, an impressive
accomplishment for anyone but especially for a young driver. He now races
a 1934 Ford Legends Coupe, a car that weighs 1,000 pounds and goes
faster than 100 miles per hour. Noah regularly competes against drivers who
are three times older than he is, but he does not let that intimidate him. He
explained in one news article, "I have been racing against older people all my
life. When you strap on a helmet, you are no longer a 13-year-old kid, you
are a racecar driver. The other drivers don't treat me like a kid. They treat me
the same as the other drivers on the track." He has the nickname "Little
Gator" partly because of his size and partly because of Gatorland's
sponsorship over the last several years.
In paragraph 2, Noah says, "I have been racing against older people all my
life. When you strap on a helmet, you are no longer a 13-year-old kid, you
are a racecar driver."

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because it makes the most sense and the quote means that once everyone is in the racecar, it's a fair race.

dude, * is in your own words, not mine.

* = the answer

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.
