JFK'S 'RACE TO SPACE' SPEECH PART B: Which TWO of the following quotes best support the answer to Part A?
A“…the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension.” ( paragraph 5)
B“…some would have us stay where we are a little longer to rest, to wait.” ( paragraph 9)C“Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first” ( paragraph 13)
D"Whether it [space] will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war.” ( paragraph 16)
E“…they [satellites launch by the United States] were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than those of the Soviet Union.” ( paragraph 19)
F“…this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us.” ( paragraph 26)

C and D. :)

Explanation:

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.
