A: which statement is written correctly? a) when running for a political office, a candidate must be willing to fight for his positions, state his beliefs articulately, and to look confident while doing so. b) when running for a political office, a candidate must be willing to fight for his positions, to state his beliefs articulately, and look confident while doing so. c) when running for a political office, a candidate must be willing to fight for his positions, to state his beliefs articulately, and to look confident while doing so. d) when running for a political office, a candidate must be willing to fight for his positions, and stating his beliefs articulately, and look confident while d

The correct answer is: "C) When running for a political office, a candidate must be willing to fight for his positions, to state his beliefs articulately, and to look confident while doing so".

Explanation:

Letter C is the only correct possibility because it is written with the same verb tense and pattern. The sentence starts with a progressive tense and turns into an infinitive one, and all verbs are very well written with their mandatory part "to", which means their infinitive form. All the other options are lacking in some way, whether because they change from infinitive form into progressive tense when it is wrong to do that, of for they are lacking form, phrases, and patterns.

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.
