Which interpretation of the poem "Dover Beach," by Matthew Arnold, describes the effect of an allusion on the poem's meaning?
A. Arnold compares the shore to "folds of a bright girdle furl'd," conveying
the idea that the sad and violent state of nature was better at some point
in the past.
B. In Arnold's poem, the back-and-forth of the sea has an "eternal note of
sadness," as though nature is at war with itself and civilization offers the
only true chance of happiness in the world.
C. Arnold refers to how the sound of the sea reminded Sophocles of
"human misery," which suggests that the bleakness of the world has
been obvious since the beginning of civilization.
D. The speaker of the poem mentions the biblical story of David and
Goliath, in which an ordinary boy, David, brings down a giant with nothing
but a sling and his faith.

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.
