1. evinced = D. to show
If you read the sentence carefully, you can infer the meaning of the word in bold letters just based on the context and the surrounding words. So, it says that 'she evinced so much intelligence,' meaning that she showed it, exhibited it, it was made obvious to other people.

2. forbore = C. to refrain from
The meaning of this word can also be deduced based on the context. So, in the sentence, it says that this person was able to tell anything to that woman, except for the fact that her darling looked sick. So he refrained from telling her that, meaning that he stopped himself.

3. eking = A. to make a supply last by economy
If you were unsure about this one, you could have matched every other option and then match this one to the remaining one. :) However, you can see in the sentence that this woman did something in order to help the cook and her children from having to live solely on gravy and other scrapings.

4. disencumber = B. to free from
In this sentence, you can see that the narrator would like one particular man to perish from the face of the Earth. She considers him plague, and would like to rid the planet from him. Thus, disencumber in this context means to free something from something bad.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
