Read the passage from roosevelt's "quarantine" speech. how happy we are that the circumstances of the moment permit us to put our money into bridges and boulevards . . and many other kinds of useful works rather than into huge standing armies. which best identifies an inference made in the passage and evaluates its logic?
the inference is that investing in domestic development, like bridges and boulevards, is a privilege and not a right; it is logical because many other nations at this time were forced to spend their money to combat foreign attack. the inference is that americans are the happiest people in the world; it is logical because they are the only people who believe that investing in domestic development, like bridges and boulevards, is more important than investing in the military.
the inference is that there is a debate over which is more important to fund: armies or domestic development, like bridges and boulevards; this is illogical because both are important issues that deserve government funding.
the inference is that investing in the military is pointless because it does not guarantee that you win the war; this is illogical because increased funding can support a better trained and prepared army that is more likely to triumph.

explanation:

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
