Battle Cards is one of my favorite games, and it's really easy to play. First, two players divide an entire deck of cards so that each has 26 cards. Next, both players pull three cards off the tops of their decks, revealing the third card. The winner of the round is the player with the higher card. (Aces are high.) Players continue counting three cards and then revealing the last card until one player has all the cards in his or her deck and is declared the winner. It's that simple. Now, who wants to play? Which statement best describes how text structure contributes to the development of ideas in this passage? A. The chronological structure helps the reader understand the steps involved in playing the game. B. The cause-and-effect structure shows the reader what strategies a player should use in order to win the game, C. The chronological structure allows the reader to create a mental picture of how the cards should be placed on the table, D. The cause and effect structure gives the reader insight into which cards are the most valuable.

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.

answer: do

the 'italicized phrase' is a noun clause that is used as a direct object.

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
