benefit are greater than cost for donating uniforms.

Explanation:The paragraph makes the assertion that there is benefit for the school basketball team. It states that it would be a win win situation, as the company provides uniform for the basketball team , the team will feature the organization name on their uniforms which is a mode of advertisement for the company. The benefits of sponsoring the basketball team uniforms outweigh the cost of donating the uniforms because the “advertisement” will leads to much more sales for the company.

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.
