Choice A. is an example of an idiom. Notice that it uses the words "his mood came out of left field." It's not to be taken literally. Idioms are expressions whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings.

Examples are:

"It's raining cats and dogs!"
- It's not literally raining cats and dogs like animals are falling from the sky. It means that the rain is heavy and it may refer to storm with winds.

"It costs me an arm and a leg."
- It doesn't really mean that you have to give up your body parts. It may refer to something so hard to get that you have to work really hard for it, causing your body to get tired and maybe it costs a lot that you need to give your body parts for it.

I hope you get it! :)

A. is the idiom because it has a word that is out of place and still describes the sentence

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
