How could you test your understanding of this passage? Most bikes can be easily modified to carry large—and sometimes unusual—loads without difficulty. Modifications may be a matter of adding a rack or basket, or they may involve a specialized frame design. In addition to the modifications you saw in the pictures above, bicycles can also be modified by adding a trailer. Trailers are usually used for hauling goods or people. Bicycle taxis (often called pedicabs) and rickshaws are common in many places, including main street areas of some large cities in the United States, like Phoenix, Arizona, and Portland, Oregon.

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.
