Answer:
1) No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
2) There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.

"Her situation demanded that she grow up before she should have."
Explanation:
In the given excerpt from "Pakistan's Malala" the author details how living in the Swat Valley under the rule of the Taliban greatly affected everyone especially Malala. And with the atmosphere, she also had to get accustomed to whatever is being brought up by the rulers.
The given excerpt reveals how she was made to grow up despite her young age. She wasn't a child with an <em>"idealist activist attitude"</em>, being merely a 10/11-year-old girl. But her love of books and studies were always there. The statement <em>"her situation demanded she grow up before she should have" </em>clearly reflects how she was affected by the Taliban's presence in her Swat Valley village.
In "The Devil and Tom Walker," Washington Irving criticizes the selfish and heartless sections of American society, especially usurers, by satirizing them through Tom Walker’s character. He also criticizes the hypocrisy of American religious groups through his satirical description of Tom’s churchgoing and through his mention of the Salem witch trials and the persecution of Quakers and Anabaptists. He also seems to suggest that American society was founded on violence and inequality:
"Since the red men have been exterminated by you white savages, I amuse myself by presiding at the persecutions of Quakers and Anabaptists; I am the great patron and prompter of slave dealers, and the grandmaster of the Salem witches."
