She considers the vagaries of sports, the happenstance of el líder, a star pitcher in his youth, narrowly missing a baseball career in america. his wicked curveball attracted the major league scouts, and the washington senators were interested in signing him but changed their minds. frustrated, el líder went home, rested his pitching arm, and started a revolution in the mountains. read the excerpt from “like mexicans.” we talked for an hour and had apple pie and coffee, slowly. finally, we got up with carolyn taking my hand. slightly embarrassed, i tried to pull away but her grip held me. i let her have her way as she led me down the hallway with her mother right behind me. . carolyn waved again. i looked, back, waving. . her people were like mexicans, only different. which best states how the structures of the excerpts are similar? each relates an anecdote to appeal to the reader’s emotions. each presents factual evidence to appeal to the reader’s logic. each documents career credentials to appeal to the reader’s ethics. each discusses a political event to appeal to the reader’s logic.

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.
