Read the excerpt from "how we entered world war i."nothing that wilson said about the danger to democracy could not have been said all along. for that cause we could have gone to war six months or a year or two years earlier, with incalculable effect on history. except for the proof of hostility in the resumed submarine campaign and the zimmermann telegram, our cause would have been as valid, but we would then have been fighting a preventive war—to prevent a victory by german militarism with its potential danger to our way of life—not a war of no choice. instead, we waited for the overt acts of hostility which brought the war to us? the author's word choice gives the reader a sense thata. the threat to democracy should have been enough motivation for the united states to enter the war. b. the united states was incorrect in waiting for a hostile act from germany. c. the united states did not have a justifiable reason to go to war earlier. d. the entry of the united states into world war i was justified, and the timing was accurate.

D. the entry of the United States into World War I was justified, and the timing was accurate.

Explanation:

This answer is correct because the author begins by talking about reasons that led the US to enter into World War I. The reasons stated in this excerpt are the threats to democracy and then the aggressive acts towards the submarine, Lusitania, and the information contained in the Zimmerman telegram. Because of these reasons the author feels that the decision to enter the war was justified. Also the timing was accurate because the US would not just be under preventative measures.

i believe its a. the idea that women need protection from men is a myth.

the major theme of langston hughes’s montages of a dream deferred is the deferred, or delayed, american dream of african americans. the poem is about how african americans failed to achieve their goals in time:

this year, maybe, do you think i can graduate?

i’m already two years late.dropped out six months when i was seven,

a year when i was eleven,

then got put back when we come north.

to get through high high school at twenty's kind of late–

but maybe this year i can graduate.

the poem also depicts how african americans had to keep postponing their needs with a hope that someday they would be able to obtain what they desired:

maybe now i can have that white enamel stove

i dreamed about when we first fell in love

eighteen years ago.

but you know,

rooming and everything

then kids,

cold-water flat and all that.

but now my daughter’s married

and my boy's most grown–

quit school to work

and where we're moving

there ain't no stove–

maybe i can buy that white enamel stove!

however, despite their deferred dreams, the poem shows the refusal of african americans to give up easily and let go of their dreams of a better life. their dreams may have been delayed, but they did not lose hope.
