Which excerpt from dispatches contains sensory language to describe the geography of vietnam?
there would be the muted rush of illumination rounds, fired from 60-mm. mortars inside the wire, dropping magnesium-brilliant above the nva trenches for a few seconds, outlining the gaunt, flat spread of the mahogany trees, giving the landscape a ghastly clarity and dying out.
it was awesome, worse than anything the lord had ever put down on egypt, and at night, you’d hear the marines talking, watching it, yelling, “get some! ” until they grew quiet and someone would say, “spooky understands.” the nights were very beautiful.
once in a while—i guess i saw it happen three or four times in all—there would be a secondary explosion, a direct hit on a supply of nva ammunition. and at night it was beautiful. even the incoming was beautiful at night, beautiful and deeply dreadful.
nights were when the air and artillery strikes were heaviest because that was when we knew that the nva was above ground and moving. at night you could lie out on some sandbags and watch the c-47’s mounted with vulcans doing their work.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from "Dispatches," the author Michael Herr makes use of visually descriptive language to describe the chaos and frenzy of the war. In that respect, at the same time he portrays the attack, he depicts how horrifying the landscape looks with the brightness of the fire coming from the guns.

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.
