Read the excerpt from iqbal.

iqbal was standing next to his loom. behind him was his carpet, that marvelous carpet with its complicated design in a rich blue that had never been seen before. it was perfect. iqbal had worked better and faster than anyone else could have. the foreigners would go crazy over a rug like that.

iqbal was pale, too, but not as pale as hussain khan. he took the knife that we all used to cut the ends of the knots, raised it above his head, and seemed to look each of us in the eye. then he calmly turned and cut the carpet from top to bottom, right through the middle.

how does the author best reveal that iqbal is courageous?

by describing actions such as “worked better and faster”
by describing actions such as “seemed to look each of us in the eye”
by describing actions such as “standing next to his loom”
by describing actions such as “used to cut the ends of the knots”

by describing actions such as “seemed to look each of us in the eye”

Explanation:

There is a saying that a look is worth a thousand words and really the way someone looks at us may have much to reveal. The eyes are the window of the soul, so eye contact is so important and so revealing. For this reason, the author of the excerpt decided to demonstrate that Iqbal was brave disbelieving as he looked into each person's eyes.

Looking into someone's eyes shows courage, daring, challenge and confidence.

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.
