The incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and extraordinarily powerful. each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of his life; how much money he makes, how large an entourage he carries, how much he gets to eat, sleep, and otherwise take advantage of his success. the sixty-six highest-ranked wrestlers in japan, comprising the makuuchi and juryo divisions, make up the sumo elite. a wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. any wrestler in the top forty earns at least $170,000 a year. the seventieth-ranked wrestler in japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year. life isn’t very sweet outside the elite. low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, preparing their meals and cleaning their quarters, and even soaping up their hardest-to-reach body parts. so ranking is everything. which sentence from the excerpt best supports the idea that the high-ranking sumo wrestlers enjoy many luxuries? the incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and extraordinarily powerful. the sixty-six highest-ranked wrestlers in japan, comprising the makuuchi and juryo divisions, make up the sumo elite. a wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. the seventieth-ranked wrestler in japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year.

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.
