The students of Valencia High adore the school vending machine. It has been in operation as long as the school, providing a variety of snacks, from crackers to granola bars to juices and even fresh fruit. These snacks sustain students throughout the day and help them ward off hunger during after-school activities. The teachers and custodians are not as enthusiastic. They complain about the wrappers, containers, and peelings that litter the floors and hallways. Many staff members believe that a trial period should begin in which students must prove that they can keep the school clean or lose the privilege of the vending machine. What problem is described in the paragraph

The answer is: The trash associated with the vending machine.

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.
