1. Read the following two excerpts from the article:
"When her [Lady Fu Hao's) tomb was unearthed in 1976, over 100 weapons were found buried with her as well as
many pieces of ornamental pottery. Her grave also contained the remains of 16 slaves who had been buried alive to
serve her in the afterworld. These honors confirmed her status as a great military leader." (para 6)
"Over a century ago a Viking grave was excavated in Birka, Sweden. As was customary for warriors, the body was
buried with weapons, the remains of two horses, and even board game pieces-indicating a high-class Viking
indeed." (para 10)
Which of the following inferences can be drawn from these two excerpts?
A. Burial customs in ancient China and Sweden had a lot in common despite differing cultures.
B. High-class people were often buried with living people or animals.
C. The contents of ancient graves can reveal the owners' class or social status.
D. Chinese historical records are more likely to recognize warrior women than other countries.

what can best be inferred from this excerpt is the pittsburgh pirates had a winning season in 1972., the specific information about the year is provided in the excerpt.

the other options are not correct because we can not assure that roberto clemente was the best since we don't know the information about the other players, there are no mentions about any specific fan either and it is clear that not many batters can make it to   3000 hits because it is mention as a high number.

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.
