Speech:
"The text of President Bush's address Tuesday night, after terrorist attacks on New York and Washington:
Good evening.
Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.
The victims were in airplanes or in their offices -- secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors.
Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.
The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.
These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.
Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts.
Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.
The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.
Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.
America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.
Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me."
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.
None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.
Thank you. Good night and God bless America.

Answer:

Explanation:

I don't think it's possible to make a bad speech about 9/11. I married an American who was at home getting ready to go to work when it happened. We don't watch television. We're both too busy. But we have one. I phoned home at somewhere around 8:00 or 9:00 and told her she could be a little late, but she had to turn on the TV. She didn't want to do but I insisted. So she did it.  I saw her an hour later. There were streak marks coming away from her eyes.

She didn't say much. She just said "Who would want to do that? Why did they do it?"

That's basically all she had to say.

President Bush was saying much the same thing. In general that's the way most people responded. There was shock and there were tears. The indignation and anger came later.  But for a bit, everybody was a New Yorker trying to make out what happened. Trying to sympathize.

Just trying to feel the horror that befell them.

<em>D. Was Hitler's last chance to defeat the Allies.</em>

Explanation:

The Battle of the Bulge was a very important battle against the Allies and the Germans and was Hitler's last chance to defeat the Allies.

Before the Battle of the Bulge, Allies had recently defeated Germany before and had helped most of Europe against German rule. By then, the Allies thought that Germany had essentially given up and World War II was over, but Hitler had one last plan.

Hitler ended up going forward into the American troops, trying to break the front lines. The Allies were not ready for this and many ended up dying, which caused Germany to go forward. As Germany continued to advance, the American troops finally started pushing the troops back and eventually started getting the upper hand against German troops.

This is a very famous battle because of the small fights that occurred and the courage that was with the American troops. Many of the American troops had to hold out until backup arrived since they were not expecting this attack from Germany. Although Germany caught them by surprise and at first started winning against the Allies, they pushed them back and won the battle.

How does the author of document 4 feel about relying on government relief (welfare)?
andrezito [222]

Governments all across the world are functioning in a climate of extreme uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 problem, which presents significant health, economic and social challenges.

Numerous administrations have moved rapidly at all levels. An efficient solution to the COVID-19 health systems and economic problem involves a mix of national and regional actions. National government coordination and leadership are essential.

In terms of health, many nations have implemented territorial strategies, as seen in their stances on things like mask policies and lock downs. On the financial front, governments have generously supported businesses, families, and disadvantaged groups. Even if this appears to be more obvious in some nations, it is still difficult in many others.
