Read the following newspaper excerpt, then answer the question that follows:

i visited with the young musician backstage before her sold-out concert. we spoke about her humble beginnings, her childhood dreams, and the surprising turn of events that brought her to the top. listening to her tell the tale, you can't but view it as a cinderella story.

this paragraph from a newspaper article alludes to cinderella. based on this literary allusion, which choice best describes the young musician's story?

she was a poor girl who married into a royal family and became rich.
she was a simple girl whose big dreams unexpectedly came true.
she was a talented girl who worked hard and made wise choices to make it big.
she was an unhappy girl whose fairy godmother her reach her dream.

I think the answer is c but a lot of people keep saying that it is b so I am a little confused now.

Explanation:

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.
