Read the passage from a doll's house
which statement best reflects the central idea explored in
the passages?
nora: well, then i have found other ways of earning
money. last winter i was lucky enough to get a lot of
copying to do, so i locked myself up and sat writing every
evening until quite late at night. many a time i was
desperately tired; but all the same it was a tremendous
pleasure to sit there working and earning money. it was

read the passage from a room of one's own.
social norms deprived women of privacy and
opportunities for independence.
women were permitted to pursue their goals only if
they did so in public.
financial wealth was essential for women to secure
privacy for themselves.
women produced better work when they were allowed
to seclude themselves,
but for women, i thought, looking at the empty shelves,
these difficulties were infinitely more formidable. in the
first place, to have a room of her own, let alone a quiet
room or a sound-proof room, was out of the question,
unless her parents were exceptionally rich or very noble,
even up to the beginning of the nineteenth century. since
her pin money, which depended on the goodwill of her

As there are no options, the statement reflecting the central idea of the two passages would be like,

Women can can contribute more to society if they are provided suitable environment.

Explanation:

This central theme is evident from this passage of "A Doll's House" 1879 (by Henrik Ibsen). The passage describes the environment as a quiet room with locked door where Nora could sit, work for long hours, earn a reason amount of money, and help improve her family's financial conditions.

In the passage from "A Room of One's Own" 1929 (an extended essay by  Virginia Woolf), the author is trying to prove the same idea that if women be provided suitable environment (at least one's own room), they could produce better (literary) work (than they did). The lack of quality and quantity in women's writing was because they were not provided as suitable social conditions as male writer were.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

the second sentence is a great revision in my opinion. that would be a great topic.
