Read the stanza from "the raven." ah, distinctly i remember it was in the bleak december, and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. eagerly i wished the morrow; –vainly i had sought to borrow from my books surcease of sorrow–sorrow for the lost lenore– for the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name lenore– nameless here for evermore. which words in the excerpt best develop a mournful mood? check all that apply. distinctly remember bleak dying ghost eagerly sorrow

The right answers are bleak, dying, ghost and sorrow.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the mournful mood of this well-known and remarkable poem by Edgar Allan Poe is in this stanza emphasized by the use of words that evoke sadness, grief and disquiet: a gloomy winter day, an extinct fire, a ghost and the sorrow that invades a lover's heart after the death of his beloved one.      

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
