At 2:15, Benzino alerted me that Maggle's heart rate was suddenly elevated. I glanced out the window and didn't see
her in the backyard. "Send out the drone."

Within moments, Benzino was relaying an image of
Maggie leaning against a tree and holding her ankle. We
both trotted out through the backyard and into the woods.
Benzino located Maggie immediately as I followed. Maggie
wrapped her little arms around Benzino and cried, "I knew
you'd rescue me!"

I stood by awkwardly as Benzino began to assess her
injury.

Which statement best explains how the author conveys the general attitude

follow human orders effectively.

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.

"fire and ice" is one of robert frost's most popular poems. it was published in december 1920 in harper's magazine and in 1923 in his pulitzer prize−winning book new hampshire. it discusses the end of the world, likening the elemental force of fire with the emotion of desire, and ice with hate.
