select the correct text in the passage.
which sentence from the paragraph uses a straw man argument?
the advent of self-driving cars is evidence that a new generation of transportation has come. those who are critical of self-driving cars need
to learn to accept technological advances and stop resisting the future. in fact, the future is here. self-driving cars are no different than
smartphones because both make our lives more convenient. we need solutions for our current problems. the citizens of this city approved the
new high-tech signs on our freeways, so it does not make sense why they would hesitate to allow self-driving cars. planes fly on auto pilot. so
why not cars? advances in technology always improve society and so will self-driving cars. but some say there is too much risk. however, the
suggested risk of allowing the city to test self-driving cars is better than the current accident risk on our roads.

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.
