Birds have a reputation as excellent parents. They expend a great deal of effort in building nests in which to lay their eggs. They patiently incubate the eggs, keeping them
warm and safe until they hatch. Birds also bring food to their newly hatched offspring
until the baby birds are independent. However, some unusual birds, known as brood
parasites, don't provide any parental care for their young, Perhaps the most famous
brood parasite is the cuckoo. Instead of building a nest, the cuckoo lays her eggs in the
nest of another species with similar-looking eggs. The female cuckoo simply removes an
egg laid by the host female, lays her own egg, and then leaves, expecting the host bird to
care for the imposter,

what are your options ?

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

i'm pretty sure i had this question the other day and b was the right answer.
