Select the correct text in the passage. Read the excerpt from a text about the impact of technology and media. Which sentence is the author's thesis statement?
Thanks to rapid technological advancements and an influx of media, Americans have become connected in ways not thought possible in the
past. Film, television, newspapers, social media, and the Internet have all contributed to creating a highly connected global community. This
web of communication has vastly expanded our understanding of cultures and practices that many of us have not been privy to before. It's
through this new and ever-expanding network of communication that we can instantly access news and events happening around the world,
making us more knowledgeable about global affairs and various cultural beliefs and practices.
This expanded network is not without its limitations. Often forgotten is the fact that the information we receive has been filtered through and
shaped by reporters, bloggers, news corporations, editors, and many other entities, which limits our perceptions of the global community. The
shaping of perspectives is sometimes subtle and other times clearly blased and highly structured. This type of information manipulation
becomes destructive when it begins to shape our opinions, perceptions, and belief systems, especially concerning other cultures in our global
community

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.
