One theme of this story relates to synergy, the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. which line from the story best expresses that theme? a. ". .the energy of the game is more than the energy we partners put in." b. ". .i build that energy over scores and scores of elegant combinations." c. "the point is to make each other run full out to make the catch." d. "if i have to run full out to make the catch, lucky me; i'm building lungs."

A. ". . .The energy of the game is more than the energy we partners put in."

The theme that the author wants to convey is that of different parts coming together in order to achieve something that is bigger than the parts themselves. This sentence expresses this sentiment the best by explaining that the energy of the game is more than the sum of the energy each one of the partners puts in. In other words, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

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.
