Read the excerpt from "the storyteller." the child moved reluctantly to the window. "why are those sheep being driven out of that field? ” he asked. "i expect they are being driven to another field where there is more grass,” said the aunt weakly. "but there is lots of grass in that field,” protested the boy; "there’s nothing else but grass there. aunt, there’s lots of grass in that field.” "perhaps the grass in the other field is better,” suggested the aunt fatuously. "why is it better? ” came the swift, inevitable question. "oh, look at those cows! ” exclaimed the aunt. nearly every field along the line had contained cows or bullocks, but she spoke as though she were drawing attention to a rarity. "why is the grass in the other field better? ” persisted cyril. which instances of situational irony occur in the passage? select two options. the aunt expects the boy to look out the window, but he does not. the aunt expects the boy to look out the window, and he does. the aunt expects the boy to accept her explanations, but he does not. the aunt expects the boy to show interest in the sheep, and he does. the aunt expects the boy to be interested in the cows, but he is not.

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.
