Read the paragraph. Jenna hoisted her backpack and hustled toward her locker. She fidgeted her foot while twirling the familiar numbers, silently reciting the properties of matter she expected to see on her science test. With a hasty stuff-and-switch maneuver, she grabbed the notebook needed for her first class. Which words reveal the pace of the story?Check all that apply. a. backpack b. hustled c. fidgeted d. familiar e. numbers f. science test g. hasty

The words that reveal the pace of the story are: hustled, fidgeted, and hasty.

Explanation: The reason is because, from the options, these words stand out as words which denote pace, and also, they are words that denote impatience and nervousness. The words also describe the actions she took as she went to her locker, waited while she opened it and hurried to class, as we can see from the story, Jenna is obviously in a hurry and impatient.

The rest of the options though (backpack, familiar, numbers, science test) are mere nouns which cannot be used to denote any kind of pace whatsoever and therefore, have no significance in the determination of the pace of the story.

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.
