Read the following excerpt from william faulkner's the sound and the fury:
as the scudding day passed overhead the dingy windows glowed and faded in ghostly retrograde. a car passed along the road outside, laboring in the sand, died away.
the author uses the word laboring to emphasize which idea?
a.
the difficulty the car had in moving
b.
the work that the driver had completed that day
c.
the dedication of the driver to the task at hand
d.
the amount of time the car had been in the shop

A. the difficulty the car had in moving.

Explanation:

when you read the excerpt carefully, you notice "laboring", laboring meaning: working, chores, etc. This can describe that the car was having difficulty moving. (sorry if its wrong-)

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.
