Read the excerpt from Obama's Second Inaugural Address. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American; she is free, and she is equal.

Read the excerpt from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s "New Deal” speech from 1932.

What do the people of America want more than anything else? To my mind, they want two things: work, with all the moral and spiritual values that go with it; and with work, a reasonable measure of security--security for themselves and for their wives and children. Work and security--these are more than words. They are more than facts. They are the spiritual values.

Which idea is emphasized in both speeches?
A. the idea that hard work breeds both satisfaction and dignity
B. the idea that those who work hard deserve to be treated fairly
C. the idea that only those who work hard deserve respect
D. the idea that hard work and sacrifice lead to success
