Answer:

The word GANGSTER as used in the passage gives a NEGATIVE connotation and could be inferred to mean the word ENEMY.

Explanation:

CONNOTATION simply means the perception of idea which a word gives when used or uttered as deduced from it's literal meaning.

The literal or primary meaning of the word gangster is a criminal, immoral and violent individual. This meaning resonates negativity and hence a negative CONNOTATION.

The use of the word GANGSTER and other inflammatory words such as TREACHEROUS is used to invoke the American people to see the Japanese as their enemy and prepare to hit back.

Therefore,

•The word GANGSTER gives a negative CONNOTATION and implies enemy.

• Inflammatory language used help convey a message to hit back.

The word gangster refers to a group of vicious criminals who usually operate in an organized manner.

The word Axis Powers here refers to the coalition of Germany, Italy, and Japan. So, because the attack was jointly carried out by this group of states, Roosevelt in an attempt to brand them accordingly used the word gangsters.

2. The general context and language of the speech in the passage serves to underscore the criminality of the actions of the Axis Powers.

In the context in which Roosevelt used those words, he was referring to the above-named coalition. His spefdech was a call to all countries of the world to bear America witness against the actions of the Axis Powers and in a way, to absolve the United States of America from the consequences of any retaliatory actions that she was prepared to carry out against the attackers.

History shows that the US's retaliation was devastating and lasted generations afterward.

Roosevelt was not only incensed about the attack on America but delivered the above speech using words such as gangster to connote that their actions were criminal and unpopular. One could say that his objective was to ensure that listeners would become sympathetically inflamed as well.

The central idea of Roosevelt's delivery, therefore, is that no country has the right to deny other states the entitlement to live in harmony with its neighbors and that to attack a neighbor was a criminal action.

The correct answer is C. The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek.

Explanation:

In the passage presented both sentence (11) and sentence (12) aim at providing the reader with examples on the players the AAGPBL produces, in the case of sentence (11) Mary "Bonnie" Baker is mentioned and sentence (12) adds Dorothy Kamenshek was equally a fine player that emerged from this women softball club, this implies both women are equally important, because of this both names should be linked by adding the conjunction "and", considering this conjunction expresses a relationship of equality between the element it joints. Besides this to show the reader these women are examples of the results of the softball club it is necessary to the word "including" and it is already clear they are examples of "many fine players" is not necessary to add any further information after the name of both women. Thus, the correct way to combine sentence (11) and (12) is "The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek" because it expresses both women are examples of fine players of the league and are in the same level.
