Read the excerpts and answer the question that follows. once in a lifetime by jhumpa lahiri (excerpt) my feelings were complicated by the fact that, until rather recently, to my great shame, i’d regularly slept with my parents on the cot in their room, and not in the room where i kept my clothes and things. my mother considered the idea of a child sleeping alone a cruel american practice, and therefore did not encourage it, even when we had the space. she told me that she had slept in the same bed as her parents until the day she was married and that this was perfectly normal. but i knew that it was not normal, not what my friends at school did, and that they would ridicule me if they knew. freeway 280 by lorna dee cervantes (excerpt) i scramble over the wire fence that would have kept me out. once, i wanted out, wanted the rigid lanes to take me to a place without sun, without the smell of tomatoes burning on swing shift in the greasy summer air. maybe it's here en los campos extraños de esta ciudad where i'll find it, that part of me mown under like a corpse or a loose seed. which of the following descriptions most clearly details the difference between hema, the narrator in “once in a lifetime,” and the speaker in "freeway 280"?

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.
