i need this ASAP... Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:

President George W. Bush's speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.

Which topic best relates to the central idea in this part of the speech?

Backing out of the fight
Avoiding future conflicts
Fighting a lost cause
Winning the war on terror

Answer:

D

Explanation:

winning the war on terror

Answer:

Winning the war on terror

Explanation:

President George W. Bush says

"The war isn't over" but "their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory."

This means the war isn't over, but we can see that their side has already lost. The United States will win and have victory.

This means the answer is "Winning the war on terror".

By looking at the choices we can also see that the only correct one would be "Winning the war on terror".

Let's examine the other choices just in case.

A. Backing out of the fight. Why would the Americans back out of the fight when we are winning? President Bush stated "We have seen the turning of the tide." Meaning they are winning.

B. Avoiding future conflicts. That would be nice, but it mentions nothing about avoiding conflicts. It only mentions the success we have had in battle.

C. Fighting a lost cause. This option doesn't even make sense because George Bush implies multiple times that we are winning and will win the war.

Therefore the only option that makes sense is "Winning the war on terror"

I hope this helped!!

Have a great day!!

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt
By S. E. Forman

1911

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.


What does the author mean by “we may say that nature strikes a match”?
A. Matches were created by nature.
B. Matches did not help people.
C. Matches required natural chemicals.
D. Nature provided fire for humans.

La casitas near the gray cannery, nestled amid wild abrazos of climbing roses and man-high red geraniums are gone now.

Maybe it's here en los campos extraños de esta ciudad where I'll find it, that part of me.
