An author claims that "athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison." the author provides the following reason as support: in 2013, the tv show sport-zone surveyed 2,000 athletes. 73 percent admitted knowing a teammate who took performance-enhancing drugs. huang kroll, spokesperson for the international olympic committee, was interviewed during the program. "using illegal substances to gain an advantage is a huge issue," he explained. "unless stronger laws are passed—laws that result in prison rather than suspension from competition—the problem will continue to grow." which choice best describes the reason the author provides? it is effective. it supports the claim clearly and logically. it is irrelevant. it discusses a fact that is off topic and does not support the claim. it is unreliable. it does not give any details to prove that the source can be trusted. it is unverified. it does not cite a source to show where the information was located.

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.
