The correct answer is C) writers who expose corruption perform a vital service to America.

<em>According to the quote, the statement that best describes Roosevelt’s view in journalism is that writers who expose corruption perform a vital service to America. </em>

In the excerpt, Roosevelt explains it this way: “There is filth on the floor…”, meaning that there is corruption in some areas of the government. “And there are times and places where these services are the most needed...”, meaning that exposing corruption by the media is a necessary service that journalists do.

Roosevelt continues: “The men with the muck rakes are often indispensable to the well being of society”, meaning that journalist that expose corruption cases are necessary to have a transparent government that citizens can be proud of.

The term muckraker, coined by Roosevelt identifies the journalist that exposed and attacked corruption cases in businesses or corrupt leaders.

erica [24]

Answer:

B. Military force is an easy way to replace an unfriendly foreign leader

Explanation:

The US has been using its military way to often as a tool of its foreign policies in the past century. While it was understandable during the Cold War, after it ended it is simply absurd. It seems that whenever the US has problems with some leader of another country where it has some interest, it employs its military, attacks the country, and takes down the unwanted leader. While some may argue that the US military has acted as peacekeeper, society builder, bringing democracy, in practice it has been the total opposite, and we have Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria to witness for it, being left in ruins, total chaos, and becoming fertile grounds for terrorist basis.
