Read the excerpt from "To Save a Turtle." Quentin didn’t help much with the beach cleanup, but he seemed impatient to see a crawl. Brenda could sort of understand that. The fact that he wasn’t sold on cleaning up wasn’t really suspicious on its own. After all, cleaning up the beach wasn’t a lot of fun. But there were other things Brenda began to pick up on as she observed him. She had seen Quentin sneak out of the cabin at night three times. If there had been a town near the camp, he might have been going out to a local restaurant or club, but the only thing nearby was the beach that led to the ocean. He could have been going for a midnight swim, except that he didn’t come back wet.

What is the most important detail from this excerpt?

a)Quentin does not like to clean up the beach.
b)Brenda notices Quentin’s suspicious behavior.
c)Brenda understands Quentin’s impatience.
d)The beach leads to the ocean.

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.
