Read the passage from “the lost boys.”

the three brothers have come a long way since they fled their village in sudan with their parents and three sisters—all of whom were later killed by sudanese army soldiers. the lost boys first survived a 6- to 10-week walk to ethiopia, often subsisting on leaves and berries and the occasional boon of a warthog carcass. some boys staved off dehydration by drinking their own urine. many fell behind; some were devoured by lions or trampled by buffalo.

the lost boys lived for three years in ethiopia, in un-supported camps, before they were forced back into sudan by a new ethiopian government no longer sympathetic to their plight. somehow, more than 10,000 of the boys miraculously trailed into kenya’s un camps in the summer of 1992—as sudanese government planes bombed the rear of their procession.

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.

president wilson talks about the lives of people destroyed by german army. but these people are not americans, they are the local people living in europe. the president mentions the barbarity of germans, considering that he is not targeting the nation, instead it is said about german army. the correct answer is the last one.

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.
