D. Every four years the American people choose a new president, and 1988 is one of those years.

Explanation:

Option D is a fact. A fact is something that has been proven or can be proven to be true. In this sentence, the Reagan is stating the fact that American's choose a new president every four years. This is true and the law according to the Constitution. Also true is the fact that 1988 was an election year. The other options are all opinions. Democracy is not technically a unit or standard of measurement that is used. Free markets are not actually a model for growth; people feel as though they should be and some do use them as a model. It's also a personal opinion that freedom is key.

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.
