Answer from: amahar4000

b. spiritual.

Explanation: Context clues are words or phrases that the author includes in a text in order to explain or clarify the definition of a word or an expression, it could be the antonym, the synonym or even just a direct definition.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

It is much safer to be feared than loved. . among the wonderful deeds of hannibal this one is enumerated: that having led an enormous army, composed of many various races of men, to fight in foreign lands, no dissensions arose either among them or against the prince, whether in his bad or in his good fortune. this arose from nothing else than his inhuman cruelty . . but without that cruelty, his other virtues were not sufficient to produce this effect. . that it is true his other virtues would not have been sufficient for him may be proved by the case of scipio, that most excellent man . . his army rebelled in spain; this arose from nothing but his too great forbearance, which gave his soldiers more license than is consistent with military discipline. –the prince, niccolò machiavelli which words in the passage have negative connotations?inhuman, cruelty, rebelled how do the words with negative connotations support the claim?by defining the actions of a leader who is to be feared
