Question 4

• Option a: The quote says "We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them", meaning those who protect (harbor) terrorists are equally responsible.
• Option b: The text shows the president is using full resources to find them, no doubt about law enforcement's ability is shown.
• Option c: The text focuses on taking action, not on the difficulty/duration of the search.
• Option d: The search is underway, so law enforcement doesn't already know who committed the acts.

• The excerpt says "they cannot touch the foundation of America" and "the steel of American resolve" and mentions America is "the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity". So "foundation of America" refers to core values like liberty and determination (resolve).
• Option a: The Constitution is a document, not what the "foundation" here refers to.
• Option b: The people who fought for independence are not the "foundation" in this context.
• Option c: Land is not the foundation being referred to; it's about values.

Answer:

a. The president considers anyone who protects the terrorists equally responsible for the attacks.
