The correct answer is It leads the readers to wonder what awful deed Great-Aunt Gertrude must have committed.

In accordance to the story "Secret in Slovakia", given the author's persistent remarks on Great-Aunt Gertrude's distant and dark personality - as well as the description of her intimidating house in Slovakia -, the reader would naturally endure a growing feeling of suspense as the plot unfolds, wondering what catastrophic event Gertrude would have caused - judging by her grim appareance and her sudden, desperate request for forgiveness towards her niece, right before Gertrude's passing.

A sense of relief fills the reader once the truth about Gertrude's secret is uncovered, proving there wasn't anything horrible about it.

The rest of the statements cannot be considered correct since:

The reader cannot feel angry at Gertrude without knowing the true nature of her secret.The reader may sympathize with Gertrude, but only once the secret is revealed at the end of the story.The fact that Gertrude lived in Slovakia is irrelevant to the story's main plot; the slow-paced uncovering of the secret grabs the reader's attention, rather than the location of Gertrude's house.

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.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
