review the passage from "say no to library cuts."
while it is true that the city has to cut the budget, the city does not have to take the funds from the library. the library plays too great a role in our community. instead of reducing the budget for the library, the mayor could delay for one year the proposed changes to the city's recycling program.
which best identifies the purpose of the boldfaced text?
to introduce the essay and state the main claim
to emphasize the opposition's refutations
to emphasize the opposing position
to offer a concession

Hello. You forgot to bold the part. The part of the text that should be in bold is:

"Instead of reducing the budget for the library, the mayor could delay for one year the proposed changes to the city's recycling program."

To introduce the essay and state the main claim

Explanation:

The text shown above shows dissatisfaction with the reduced budget of libraries in the city. The text tries, through arguments, to show the reasons that make reducing that budget harmful and unnecessary and tries to claim the right to maintain the necessary budget that public libraries need to function.

To introduce these thoughts and show what the claim is, the author of the text declares: "Instead of reducing the budget for the library, the mayor could delay for one year the proposed changes to the city's recycling program."

the answer is chance

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.
