A. The history of civilization is a history of wandering, sword in hand, in search of food.

Explanation:

Jack London has a serious argument with humans because of the regular migration that occurs because of the lack of enough resources. When discussing the migrate motivations because of the economic securities and other better opportunities. The arguments, therefore, are reduced by getting themselves from hunger that had stricken thousands of lives and other Slovak immigrants who had settled in Pennsylvania. The imaginary part of the Drift was the precarious islands that received the drifts that promoted civilization in Ceylon.

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.
