Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:

president george w. bush’s speech to the troops on the uss abraham lincoln
our mission continues. al-qaida is wounded, not destroyed. the scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. the proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. the enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.

the war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. we do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. no act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. their cause is lost. free nations will press on to victory.

other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. and that is your direction tonight. after service in the afghan and iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the lincoln. your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

how does the sentence “our mission continues” support the central idea of the speech?

it supports the idea that service people returning home will be called back out quite soon.
it supports the main point that this is an ongoing fight that america will not abandon.
it challenges the notion that al-qaida is an enemy worthy of the human and financial cost of war.
it adds to the idea that it is essential to remove any american military presence in other lands.

Read the excerpts from “take the tortillas out of your poetry” and “speaking arabic.” my friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. he took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. at a neighborhood fair in texas, somewhere between the german oom-pah sausage stand and the mexican gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
