Read the excerpt from act i, scene i of romeo and juliet. benvolio: here were the servants of your adversary and yours close fighting ere i did approach: i drew to part them; in the instant came the fiery tybalt, with his sword prepar’d, 95 which, as he breath’d defiance to my ears, he swung about his head, and cut the winds, who, nothing hurt withal hiss’d him in scorn. according to benvolio, who caused the fight?

According to Benvolio, the fight was caused by the servants, whom he found already fighting when he got there.

Explanation: In this scene from Act 1, Montague, Benvolio's uncle, asks him who started the "ancient quarrel," and Benvolio replies by saying that Montague's servants were already fighting his enemy's servants when he arrived. He drew his sword in order to persuade them to stop the fight, but Tybalt arrived and he challenged him. They started fighting too, and soon other citizens joined them.    

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.
