The sentences: the incense sticks burnt low. sekhar's head throbbed with the medley of sounds that had assailed his eardrums for a couple of hours now. he felt half stupefied. the headmaster had gone nearly hoarse, when he paused to ask, 'shall go on? ' sekhar replied, ' don't, sir, i think this will do’.' the headmaster looked stunned. his face was beaded with perspiration. sekhar felt the greatest pity for him. but he felt he could not it. no judge delivering a sentence felt more pained and . sekhar noticed that the headmaster's wife peeped in from the kitchen, with eager curiosity. the drummer and the violinist put away their burdens with an air of relief. the headmaster removed his spectacles, mopped his brow, and asked, 'now, come out with your opinion'. after reading these sentences, the reader can most likely conclude that sekhar feels a. suspicious of his headmaster's intentions b. disappointed in his headmaster's singing ability c. regret that he endured his headmaster's singing for so long d. distressed that he must share the truth with the headmaster

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.
