Read the excerpt from a speech that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made shortly after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. What

is Churchill’s intention with this part of the speech?
This is a strange Christmas Eve. Almost the whole world is locked in deadly struggle, and, with the most terrible weapons which science can devise, the nations advance upon each other. Ill would it be for us this Christmastide if we were not sure that no greed for the land or wealth of any other people, no vulgar ambition, no morbid lust for material gain at the expense of others, had led us to the field. Here, in the midst of war, raging and roaring over all the lands and seas, creeping nearer to our hearts and homes, here, amid all the tumult, we have tonight the peace of the spirit in each cottage home and in every generous heart. Therefore we may cast aside for this night at least the cares and dangers which beset us, and make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Here, then, for one night only, each home throughout the English-speaking world should be a brightly-lighted island of happiness and peace.

A.
to remind people about the evils surrounding them
B.
to promote happiness and peace during the Christmas season
C.
to encourage more support for the war
D.
to push for the United States and Britain to become one country

The correct answer is option letter B (to promote happiness and peace during the Christmas season). After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the <em>British Prime Minister Winston Churchill</em> flew to Washington, D.C. in order to meet <em>President Franklin Roosevelt</em> and discuss how the two countries (Britain and the United States) could coordinate strategy in the wake of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Since he was away from Britain, Churchill broadcast to the world from the White House and the purpose of his speech was <u>to dedicate the night and holiday to children</u>. Churchill wanted the people to celebrate the night without the cares of war, especially the children (“<em>Let the children have their night of fun and laughter</em>”). The rest of the options are incorrect because they are a misunderstanding of the text (A, C), or an action that has already happened, that is, the union of Britain and the United States (D).

olga55 [171]
The jobs that Wilson Rawls did beside being a writer were as a carpenter and also in a construction company. Wilson Rawl traveled to South America, Canada and Alaska as a carpenter. This did not hinder his love for writing. During this period he wrote "Where the Red Fern Grows" and four other manuscripts. he kept them hidden for a lonf time as the manuscripts did not have any punctuation and had spelling and grammatical mistakes. He also took up a job in a construction company later on for a construction company that worked on the guided missile range in South West.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

It can't be A because Elsa tried not to be mean and neither did her old friends, but Elsa couldn't keep the secret. It can't be B because sometimes telling the bad truth can also cause relationships to separate. It can't be D because her friend did not stick with Elsa and they should have been by her side trying to help her to keep their secrets. C is correct because Elsa couldn't change even if she tried.

Hope it helps and have a great day! =D

taurus [48]

Answer:

Rosemans are to the Capulets

Explanation:

The analogy given by the statement Cacciamanis are to the Montagues, is one that shows love between members of rival families.

The Rosemans and Cacciamanis are rival florists. However when Julie Roseman and Romeo Cacciamanis meet at a seminar they fall in love Despite reservations from Julie's sisters and Romeo's mother.

This is similar to the Montagues and Capulets, where Romeo and Juliet from the rival families fall in love.

So Cacciamanis are to the Montagues as the Rosemans are to the Capulets.
