Read this passage from “Just Ask Him,” looking for reasons that are used to support the author’s claim about gender roles in dating. Such strict adherence to gender roles in the dating arena can create even more stress in the potential relationship: the woman feels compelled to keep her feelings to herself, hoping that her would-be suitor will eventually indicate interest in her, while the man wishes he had the courage to ask her out, and would happily say yes if she were to ask him instead.

What reason does the author give here to support the essay’s claim?
Select one:
a. Asking for a date is a stressful situation for both men and women.
b. Women naturally feel compelled to keep quiet until the man expresses his feelings.
c. Men should get over their needless feelings of timidity and ask women on dates.
d. Strict rules about gender roles in dating create unnecessary stress for both men and women.

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.
