Which sentence makes a claim for an argument about how mr. jones is a great teacher? a) mr. jones is the sponsor of three different time-demanding clubs at school. b) mr. jones teaches seven different classes with seven different lessons each day. c) mr. jones gets to school earlier and stays later than any other teacher at the school. d) mr. jones is one of the hardest working and most talented teachers at riverdale high school.

D) Mr. Jones is one of the hardest working and most talented teachers at Riverdale High School.

Explanation:

To be a good professional, one has to dedicate oneself and perform the job optimally, which requires talent. Arriving early or leaving late is not synonymous with being good at work. Similarly, working in different shifts or in many classes is not a guarantee of quality work either. What signals that a person does a good job is when he or she stands out for effort and performance. In this case, Mr. Jones is considered the best teacher in school, in item D, which is the correct answer.

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.
