Choose the answer. read the description. even though she has been told to ignore it, mary goes out in search of the source of the crying noise. which best describes mary's character, based upon this description? a. she is disobedient and rebellious. b. she is afraid of the world around her. c. she is curious and independent. d. she is easily disturbed from her sleep.

C. She is curious and independent.

Based on this description, Mary seems to be a curious girl, as she wants to find out the source of the crying noise. She also appears to be independent because she is making decisions that are different from those that are suggested to her.

We cannot assume she is disobedient and rebellious because we do not know whether looking for the source of the noise was prohibited. Perhaps she was told to ignore it as an advice, not as an order. She is also not afraid as she goes investigating on her own. Finally, there is no indication of the noise being at night, or of it having any impact on her sleep.

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.
