100 points <3 Read this excerpt from The People Could Fly.

"Now it was funny. I never saw my passengers after that first girl. Because I took them on the nights when the moon was not showin, it was cloudy. And I always met them in the open or in a house with no light. So I never saw them, couldn't recognize them, and couldn't describe them. But I would say to them, "What you'say?" And they would say the password. Sounded like "Menare." Seemed the word came from the Bible somewhere, but I don't know. And they would have to say that word before I took them across."

Which statement best describes the speaker’s viewpoint in this passage?

He is amused at the password that has been chosen.
He wants to help people, even if he does not know them.
He wishes that he did not have to take risks to help others.
He is terrified that he will get caught crossing the river.

B - He wants to help people, even if he does not know them.

Explanation:

Your answer should be B. He wants to help people, even if he does not know them.

It is shown through the fact that the speaker does not care whom he is helping by stating, "So I never saw them, couldn't recognize them, and couldn't describe them." This shows that he just wants to help people even without knowing whom it is.

Hope this helps you out! Good luck. :)

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.
