Read the excerpt from their eyes were watching god. to her way of thinking all these things set her aside from negroes. that was why she sought out janie to friend with. janie’s coffee-and-cream complexion and her luxurious hair made mrs. turner forgive her for wearing overalls like the other women who worked in the fields. what does the phrase “to friend with” mean? a. to want to meet b. to introduce c. to dine with d. to get to know

D. to get to know

"To friend with" means to get to know. The author's choice of the word friend demonstrates more than a desire to have just a passing acquaintance. It is clear that the person has already met Janie and been introduced to her. The passage also shows that person talked about does not have a close social connection with others of her race because she is more fair skinned than dark skinned. This shows that she is looking for more of a connection than just a meet and greet.

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.
