In the town the doctors had become more and more puzzled by new kinds of sickness appearing among their patients.

Which revision of this section of dialogue best shows the narrator’s feelings? When I open the cover, the smell of fresh paper wafts up to greet me and the crisp, open page fills me with an exquisite sense of possibility. When I first open the notebook, I take care to crease the cover gently so that it’s nice and flexible, and then I can enjoy writing without fussing. I’m happy about the notebook because now I can get started on writing down the song that’s been floundering in my head all week.

PLEASE HELP!!!Select the correct text in the passage.

In his "Four Freedoms" Speech to Congress, President Franklin Roosevelt calls for the end of human oppression and the beginning of universal liberty. Which sentence from the passage best support this analysis?

from Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" Speech


The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.

That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.

To that new order we oppose the greater conception—the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.

Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change—in a perpetual peaceful revolution—a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions—without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.

This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.

To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

Which sentence best supports this analysis?

A. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation

B. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear

C. The world order which we seek is the corporation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized way.

D. The nation has placed it's destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of it's millions of free men and woman: and it's faith in freedom under the guidance of God.

E. To that high concept there can be no end to slavery.

I sent her a postcard about my trip.

Blazing in gold and quenching in purple,
Leaping like leopards to the sky,
Then at the feet of the old horizon
Laying her spotted face, to die;
Stooping as low as the kitchen window,
Touching the roof and tinting the barn,
Kissing her bonnet to the meadow,-
And the juggler of day is gone!
