The pipe under your kitchen sink springs a leak and you call in a plumber. a few days later you get a bill for $40. at the bottom is a note saying that if you don’t pay within 30 days, there’ll be a 10 percent service charge of $4. you feel trapped, with no desirable alternative. you pay $40 now or $44 later. now make two small changes in the script. the plumber sends you a bill for $44, but the note says that if you pay within 30 days you’ll get a special $4 discount. now you feel pretty good. you have two alternatives, one of which will save you $4. in fact, your choices are the same in both cases—pay $40 now or $44 later—but your feelings about them are different. this illustrates a subject we’ve been studying for several years: what makes people feel free and why does feeling free make them happy? one factor we’ve studied is that individuals feel freer when they can choose between positive alternatives (delaying payment or saving $4) rather than between negative ones (paying immediately or paying $4 more). how do the authors answer the question, “what is freedom? ” in the first three paragraphs of the essay? can anyone me with this question? plss !

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.
