Read the excerpt from “The Telephone: A Truer Tale.” The year was 1849, and Antonio Meucci, a man trained in engineering, was experimenting with electricity. He and a doctor were trying to determine if electric shock could be used to cure illnesses. One day, when he turned on the switches to treat a patient in another room, he heard the patient yelp. However, the voice had not come from the next room—it had come from the copper wire that ran between them! Following that fateful day, Meucci left his medical experiments behind. Instead, he set a goal to develop that talking wire into a machine he called a “talking telegraph.” After six years of trials and tests, he was able to build a working model. Meucci found it to be a useful device almost immediately. Based on the sequence of events in the excerpt, which sentence best states a cause-and-effect relationship? Because Antonio Meucci was a trained engineer, he was able to invent a “talking telegraph.” Because electricity was used to cure sickness, Antonio Meucci invented the “talking telegraph.” Because the device was so useful, Antonio Meucci invented the “talking telegraph.” Because he heard a patient’s yelp through a copper wire, Antonio Meucci invented the “talking telegraph.”

Explanation:

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.
