D. from lack of use

Explanation:

Doris Lessing's "The Old Chief Mshlanga" tells the story of an English-born white girl who was raised in Africa and although she coexists with many African natives, reproduces her parents' racist and wrong behaviors that believe white people are superior and have more rights than blacks. One day this girl meets Old Chief Mshlanga who is the leader of a local tribe. Old Chief Mshlanga shows the girl that her prejudiced thoughts are wrong and establishes a strong friendship with the girl.

The narration of this book is told from the first and third person point of view, so at one point the narrator (first person) says that he found education difficult due to misuse, that is, because he was not used to it.

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.
