Which aspect is most important in a writer? a. to have a desire to write b. to have a thorough knowledge of grammar c. to be well educated d. to have a separate room to sit and write

Option A. The aspect that is most important in a writer is to have a desire to write.

Explanation:

In order to be a writer that person needs to foremost have a desire to write. Whether it involves creative writing, in which the writer needs to have inspiration in order to create a story, or even if it is research or academic writing, the person needs to have the motivation and desire to sit down and start to write. Writing is not an activity that one person can do involuntary or without putting any type of effort in it, and is because of this that a willingness to write is the first thing a writer needs to have. The writer can always improve his/her knowledge of grammar, or become more educated if that is important to him/her, but all of that would not matter if that person does not have the power and desire to sit down and start writing.

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.
