Instructions: select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. read this excerpt from "the open boat" by stephen crane, and then complete the paragraph that follows. "if we don't all get ashore—" said the captain. "if we don't all get ashore, i suppose you fellows know where to send news of my finish? " they then briefly exchanged some addresses and admonitions. as for the reflections of the men, there was a great deal of rage in them. perchance they might be formulated thus: "if i am going to be drowned—if i am going to be drowned—if i am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea, was i allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees? was i brought here merely to have my nose dragged away as i was about to nibble the sacred cheese of life? it is preposterous. if this old ninny-woman, fate, cannot do better than this, she should be deprived of the management of men's fortunes. she is an old hen who knows not her intention. if she has decided to drown me, why did she not do it in the beginning and save me all this trouble.” . . in the meantime the oiler rowed, and then the correspondent rowed, and then the oiler rowed. gray-faced and bowed forward, they mechanically, turn by turn, plied the leaden oars. the form of the light-house had vanished from the southern horizon, but finally a pale star appeared, just lifting from the sea. the streaked saffron in the west passed before the all-merging darkness, and the sea to the east was black. the land had vanished, and was expressed only by the low and drear thunder of the surf. "if i am going to be drowned—if i am going to be drowned—if i am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods, who rule the sea, was i allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees? was i brought here merely to have my nose dragged away as i was about to nibble the sacred cheese of life? " in stephen crane's naturalist story, the repetition of the term "sacred cheese" invokes the idea of unable to see the good in a situation attempting to find the good in a bad event running wearily in a circle or on a wheel seeming powerless and caught in a trap . this idea is in keeping with the theme of the story that humans are made to be punished by the supernatural led by free-will and self-determination subservient to nature's power at the mercy of their creations

- The repetition of the term "sacred cheese" invokes the idea of seeming powerless and caught in a trap.

- This idea is in keeping with the theme of the story that humans are subservient to nature's power.

Explanation:

The correspondent claims that drowning before being able to “nibble at the sacred cheese of life” refers to the feeling of being a mouse caught in a trap, powerless and weak.

Crane portrays the classic conflict of man against nature, represented in the sea. His men adrift learn the ruthless indifference of nature to humanity and the inexistent possibility of a benevolent intervention from God nor nature.

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.
