Part A: B  AquAdvantage salmon has DNA from other fish that lets it grow faster and in different conditions than regular Atlantic salmon.

The entire text talks about how these genetically modified salmon could be a better food source if it was approved by the FDA. One of the reasons is because it grows faster and in different conditions so it is easier farm.

Part B: C  Paragraph 14

This paragraph supports part A because it specifies that the AquAdvantage salmon can grow to full size in half the time of Atlantic salmon.

3. D  The FDA temporarily reversed its approval of transgenic salmon as food after listening to public concerns.

Originally the FDA, after extensive research, decided the genetically modified salmon was safe to eat and not harmful to the environment as long as it was farmed in facilities and not released in the wild. The text then goes on to say, "But so many people objected that the FDA decided to reconsider its decision." The other statements are simply incorrect.

4. C  They show that people already eat genetically modified plant food without any issues or protest.

In the paragraphs, it explains that people in Canada are already eating some genetically modified food such as "tomatoes, corn, soya, canola, squash, milk products and other foods".

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)

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
