Out of nowhere the words from the Bible came into my head: “And a little child shall lead them.” I didn’t know why at first. Then I did. There’s plenty about my life I can’t change. Can’t bring the dead back to life on this earth. Can’t make the world loving and kind. . . . But a patch of ground in this trashy lot – I can change that. . . . Better to put my time into that than moaning about the other all day. That little grammar-school girl showed me that. What does Wendell reveal about Kim in this paragraph?

She has become an inspiration to him.
He wishes that she would lead the neighborhood.
She can change a lot about a garden.
She is an excellent gardener.

The correct answer is option #1

"She has become an inspiration to him"

Explanation:

In this paragraph its made apparent Wendell has has many hardships in his past; he has accepted many things in his life he cant change. However he also makes it clear through this short excerpt that he can make a small change; the line " But a patch of ground in this trashy lot – I can change that" supports this. With that said its obvious by the last line... "That little grammar-school girl showed me that.", that said young girl inspired him to make this small yet positive change.

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.
