Choose the word that best replaces the underlined word in the sentence. eliot’s poem has long been read as a_modern_grail myth. a. futuristic c. scholarly b. old-fashioned d. contemporary

The word that best replaces the underlined word "modern" is D. contemporary.

Explanation:

The definition of the adjective "modern" would be something or someone related to present or recent times as opposed to the remote past. Similarly, one of the definitions for the adjective "contemporary" is something or someone belonging to or occurring in the present. It is, thus, safe to say the two adjectives are synonyms and one can replace the other.

Besides that, T. S. Elliot's poem The Waste (1022) Land is known as a contemporary yet loose version of the Arthurian literature myth of The Holy Grail, which first appeared around 1190.

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.
