read the passage from the time traveler's guide to elizabethan england.

there are no roads across this wasteland, only track ways. elizabethans see it as good for nothing but pasture, tin mining, and the steady water supply it provides by way of the rivers that rise there. many people are afraid of such moors and forests. they are "the ruthless, vast and gloomy woods . . by nature made for murders and for rapes,” as shakespeare writes in titus andronicus. certainly no one will think of dartmoor as beautiful. sixteenth-century artists paint wealthy people, prosperous cities, and food, not landscapes.

what is the effect of the author’s word choice in the passage?

a) it creates a condescending tone that conveys the author’s dislike of the countryside.

b) it supports the author’s purpose of challenging the image of the romantic countryside.

c) it emphasizes the author’s position that travelers should go visit the countryside.

d) it uses second-person point of view to compare the author’s and reader’s views of the countryside.

B) It supports the author’s purpose of challenging the image of the romantic countryside.

The reason why the author employs this type of words is in order to challenge the romantic image we often have of the countryside. He wants to explain to us how for Elizabethans, these landscapes are not beautiful and romantic, but useless and dangerous. In this way, he helps us better understand the perspective of this time period.

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.
