I will give you the points help! Read the following excerpt from Winston Churchill's 'Their Finest Hour' speech:
Here is where we come to the Navy - and after all, we
have a Navy Some people seem to forget that we have a
Navy. We must remind them. For the last thirty years!
have been concerned in discussions about the
possibilities of oversea invasion, and I took the
responsibility on behalf of the Admiralty, at the beginning
of the last war, of allowing all regular troops to be sent out
of the country. That was a very serious step to take
because our Territorials had only just been called up and
were quite untrained. Therefore, this island was for
several months particularly denuded of fighting troops.
The Admiralty had confidence at that time in their ability
to prevent a mass invasion even though at that time the
Germans had a magnificent battle fleet in the proportion
of 10 to 16, even though they were capable of fighting a
general engagement every day and any day, whereas now
they have only a couple of heavy ships worth speaking of
- the Scharnhorst and the Gneisenau. We are also told
that the Italian Navy is to come out and gain sea
superiority in these waters. If they seriously intend it, i
shall only say that we shall be delighted to offer Signor
Mussolini a free and safeguarded passage through the Strait of Gibraltar in order that he may play the part to which he aspires. There is a general curiosity in the British Fleet to find out whether the Italians are up to the level they were at in the last war or whether they have fallen off at all.

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
