If storms had constantly battered a tree, its trunk, and its branches, they would not have become tall or strong. When a storm hits, it can sometimes even uproot trees completely, meaning that trees can not suddenly grow strong from something like that. Especially, not when hit over and over. This also means that storms do not help trees grow stronger or taller.

There is also nowhere where it would imply a tree would be able to become ugly or tangled, although this is a close answer. Frail generally means weak or weakening. When something is hit over and over, it is most likely to become weak. These are context clues you could use in the future if you do not know what a word such as this means.

The answer is ultimately: "delicate" or "fragile."

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)
