The correct answer is 'Why does a human being find it necessary to fight for freedom and justice?'. This is an example of a rhetorical question; the question is not meant to be given an actual answer, it is just posed to make the person reading or listening to it think about what is being asked. For instance, when you say 'Who knows?', you're not expecting an actual answer, you're just asking to emphasize your belief that no one really knows. Every other answer to this question is just asking for factual information, which has little to do with rhetoric unless it is being used as evidence in persuasive writing, which it is not in this example.

Hope this helps!

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)
