Read the following passage and answer the question. my children, latest generation born from cadmus, why are you sitting here with wreathed sticks in supplication to me, while the city fills with incense, chants and cries of pain? … so i have come in person—i, oedipus, whose fame all men acknowledge. … i shall assist you willingly in every way. i would be a hard-hearted man indeed, if i did not pity suppliants like these. which line supports the inference that oedipus is a proud man? i would be a hard-hearted man indeed i shall assist you willingly in every way are you sitting here with wreathed sticks in supplication to me i, oedipus, whose fame all men acknowledge

The excerpt comes from the  story of the timeless "House of Thebes", this tells the story of  the Phoenician princess Europa and how she was carried off over the sea by a bull. Her father, Agenor, commanded his sons, including Cadmus, to find her. They all failed in their attempt, and while his brothers went on to found colonies of their own, Cadmus went to Delphi where the oracle told him to give up the search, to find a cow with special markings, follow it, and found a city where the cow would stop to rest.

The line that best support the inference that Oedipus is a proud man is:

I, Oedipus, whose fame all men acknowledge.

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.
