Select the correct text in the passage. Which excerpt from the "General Prologue" of The Canterbury Tales tells us that the knight had been part of the Crusades, military expedition
in which Christians sought to win the Holy Land?
In Latvia raided he, and Russia,
No christened man so oft of his degree.
In far Granada at the siege was he...
And he'd fought for our faith at Tramissene
Three times in lists, and each time slain his foe.
This self-same worthy Knight had been also
At one time with the lord of Palatye...
And always won he sovereign fame for prize.
Though so illustrious, he was very wise
And bore himself as meekly as a maid.

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.
