“luck is not chance”: what is most likely the speaker’s intent in lines 5-7 of the poem?
“the father of the mine
is that old-fashioned coin
we spurned—“
question 16 options:

a) to show that parents are more likely to dig for coins than their children are

b) to reinforce the theme by stating that a mine only gets dug when someone sees the possibility of getting something out of it

c) to state that coins are old-fashioned and no longer necessary

d) to argue that one will always make a fortune if they work hard looking for money
incorrect. this ignores the need for luck, which the author emphasizes as a vital part of the process of hard work.

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.
