1. while scientists aren't entirely certain why tornadoes form, they have some clues into the process.
tornadoes are dangerous funnel clouds that occur during a large thunderstorm. when warm, humid air
near the ground meets cold, dry air from above, a column of the warm air can be drawn up into the
clouds. winds at different altitudes blowing at different speeds make the column of air rotate. as the
spinning column of air picks up speed, a funnel cloud is formed. this funnel cloud moves rapidly and
haphazardly. rain and hail inside the cloud cause it to touch down, creating a tornado. tornadoes
move in a rapid and unpredictable pattern, making them extremely destructive and dangerous.
scientists continue to study tornadoes to improve radar detection and warning times.
the main purpose of this passage is to:
a. show why tornadoes are dangerous
b. explain how a tornado forms
c. compare thunderstorms to tornadoes
d. explain what to do in the event of a tornado

B

Explanation:The answer is B because the passage does not really say why tornadoes are dangerous it mostly talks about how they form for example it When warm, humid air  near the ground meets cold, dry air from above, a column of the warm air can be drawn up into the clouds. And it is not C because it is not comparing thunder storms to tornadoes, it only says that a tornado can occur during a large thunder storm. And the answer is also not D because it does not say anything about what to do in an event of a tornado.

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.
