Select a question that would derail the speaker's argument and illustrate where he needs more
information:
Michael Jordan is no match for LeBron James.
Jordan's teams were loaded with all star players.
He won six championships as a result of his
team, not his skills alone. LeBron doesn't have
nearly as much help, as far as amazing
teammates go. There's no doubt Jordan was
incredible, but LeBron has more points scored
per game, as an individual player (the most
LeBron has scored-57.7, vs. Jordan scoring
55.3). LeBron is the new all-star.
A. Why is LeBron better?
B. Can you explain why Jordan has an entire line of
sneakers named after him?
C. Can you compare and contrast the starting line-up of
the two teams?
D. Where did you get your facts?

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.
