Read the passage from roosevelt's "quarantine" speech. how happy we are that the circumstances of the moment permit us to put our money into bridges and boulevards . . and many other kinds of useful works rather than into huge standing armies. which best identifies an inference made in the passage and evaluates its logic?
the inference is that investing in domestic development, like bridges and boulevards, is a privilege and not a right; it is logical because many other nations at this time were forced to spend their money to combat foreign attack. the inference is that americans are the happiest people in the world; it is logical because they are the only people who believe that investing in domestic development, like bridges and boulevards, is more important than investing in the military.
the inference is that there is a debate over which is more important to fund: armies or domestic development, like bridges and boulevards; this is illogical because both are important issues that deserve government funding.
the inference is that investing in the military is pointless because it does not guarantee that you win the war; this is illogical because increased funding can support a better trained and prepared army that is more likely to triumph.
