1. refer to the excerpt from \franklin delano roosevelts fireside chat\ and choose the best answer.

Explanation:

Question 13

To determine the meaning of "comradeship", we analyze the root word "comrade" (meaning partners or fellow soldiers) and the suffix "-ship" which often denotes a state or condition. So "comradeship" should relate to the condition of being comrades (partners or fellow soldiers).

• Option 1 focuses on uniting armies/Navy ships, which is too specific and not about the state of being comrades.
• Option 2 mentions the United Nations, which is irrelevant as the context is about comrades (partners/fellow soldiers) in general, not a specific organization.
• Option 3 matches the analysis: it's the condition of partnering or being fellow soldiers.
• Option 4 is about skill sets, which has nothing to do with the meaning of "comrade" or the suffix "-ship".

An understatement here means Roosevelt is downplaying the actual actions. When he says Americans will "find ways and means of expressing their determination to their enemies", the implied actions could include various forms of resistance or support to allies.

• Option 1: Blowing up (like Hiroshima/Nagasaki, though those were later, but the idea of military action is a strong expression of determination).
• Option 2: Making plans to help allies fight enemies is a way to express determination.
• Option 3: Sending propaganda to enemy citizens to undermine them is also a way to express determination.
• Option 4: "All of these" is correct because all the previous options are plausible ways Americans could express their determination to enemies, and the understatement suggests more impactful actions than just a simple "expression".

Answer:

C. being in the condition of partnering or being fellow soldiers
