In 1932, voters elected Franklin D. Roosevelt president in a landslide victory. "FDR," as everyone called him, was a wealthy New

Yorker who had been stricken with polio a decade earlier. Paralyzed from the waist down, his legs useless, FDR knew about suffering firsthand. Through suffering, he grew as a person, developing deep sympathy for the downtrodden. That, in turn, shaped his ideas about government. Roosevelt believed that government was the people's servant, not its master. In times of trouble, he insisted, the chief duty of the federal government was to help those who could no longer help themselves. –Years of Dust: The Story of the Dust Bowl, Albert Marrin Which statement best states the thesis of the passage? Franklin Roosevelt was the best president the United States ever had. Franklin Roosevelt’s policies were partly shaped by his sympathy for others. Franklin Roosevelt was president of the United States. Franklin Roosevelt’s policies favored the wealthy.

danielle used 8cm of tape to wrap 4 presents if danielle used 30cm of tape how many presents did she wrap
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

15 presents

Explanation:

1. Find the amount it takes to multiply 8 by to get 30. The reason we need to find this is because we need to multiply 4 by the same number to get the amount of presents, because if you multiply one number in a relationship by some number, you have to do the same to the other number. To get from 8 to 30, you multiply by 3 3/4 (30/8).

2. Multiply 4 by that number. 4 * 30/8 (3 3/4) is equal to 30/2, which is equal to 15. This means that she wrapped 15 presents

Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize stands in front of a room full of important government people; he wants his audience to recognize that being indifferent is not the same as being innocent – indifference, “after all, is more dangerous than anger or hatred”.

He forces the listeners to wonder which kind of people they are. To him, during the Holocaust, people fit into one of “three simple categories: the killers, the victims, and the bystanders” and he forces the bystanders to decide whether or not to stay indifferent to the actual situation. He takes the time to list various actual civil wars and humanitarian crises (line 17 of his speech) and contrast them with WWII.

He makes sure that his audience realise what is at stake “Indifference, then, is not only a sin, it is a punishment” [for mankind]. He wants the audience to be really affected by what they hear – so he talks to them in their condition of human being: “Is it necessary at times to practice [indifference] simply to … enjoy a fine meal and a glass of wine”. And he also talks to them as government people with their duty and the power they have over the actual conflicts. He wants them to compare themselves with their predecessors during WWII: “We believed that the leaders of the free world did not know what was going on … And now we knew, we learned, we discovered that the Pentagon knew, the State Department knew.”

Wiesel finishes his speech by expressing hope for the new millennium. We believed he addresses these final words to those who will refuse to stay indifferent. But it seems that Wiesel would count them in the minority: “Some of them -- so many of them -- could be saved.” probably refers to this minority.
