Answer:
During sixteen long months <u>this assault</u> has blotted out the whole pattern of democratic life in an appalling number of independent nations, great and small. <u>The assailants</u> are still on the march, threatening other nations, great and small. Therefore, as your President, performing my constitutional duty to "give to the Congress information of the state of the Union," I find it, unhappily, necessary to report that <u>the future and the safety of our country and of our democracy are overwhelmingly involved in events far beyond our borders.</u> Armed defense of democratic existence is now being gallantly waged in four continents. If that defense fails, all the population and all the resources of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia will be dominated by the conquerors. Let us remember that the total of those populations and their resources in those four continents greatly exceeds the sum total of the population and the resources of the whole of the Western Hemisphere-many times over.

For a little context, FDR wanted to counter the tendency of Americans to avoid any involvement in affairs beyond their borders and their isolationist policies.
I hope this answers your question :)

Explanation:
no subject, just verb. For it to be a <em>c</em><em>o</em><em>m</em><em>p</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em>t</em><em>e</em> sentence, it would need a subject to accomodate the verb.

Answer:
B. There were not enough firefighters to do all the necessary tasks.
Explanation:
We can tell from the first sentence that there was not enough help. Even without knowing any background on the story, we know there was just a thin circle of engines around the fire. In order to deprive the fuel of fire, the firefighters asked spectators to help by chopping up fences and sidewalks. This way the fire fighters could focus on the engines.
Answer:
Using a causative sentence to describe the situation:
The boxer had his nose broken during a match.
or
The boxer got his nose broken during a match.
Explanation:
<u>The verbs "have" and "get" can be used as causative verbs. That means they can indicate that the subject of the sentence is not the one who performed the action.</u> Mostly, causative verbs are used when we wish to imply that we asked or paid someone else to do something for us. For example:<u> I had my house painted last summer.</u> --> I was not the one who painted the house. I paid someone to do it for me.
Having that in mind, we can take the situation in the question (the boxer whose nose broke during the match) and describe it with causative verbs in the following manner:
The boxer had his nose broken during a match.
or
The boxer got his nose broken during a match.
