Right of the bat, we know that options B and D are incorrect because the go against the grammatical rules for comparatives and superlatives. That leaves us with the real question, what should we use here? Comparatives or superlatives?

Because the example sentence mentions twins (a pair of siblings) we can conclude that a comparative would be the best modifier to use. Take into consideration that comparatives come along with a specific grammatical structure (subject + to be + comparative + than + object [Jeff is a better listener than Twin B]). In this case, Jeff is the better listener.

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)
