Read the excerpt from Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms.
The major asked me to have a drink with him and two other officers. We drank rum and it was very friendly. Outside it
was getting dark. I asked what time the attack was to be and they said as soon as it was dark. I went back to the
drivers. They were sitting in the dugout talking and when I came in they stopped. I gave them each a package of
cigarettes, Macedonias, loosely packed cigarettes that spilled tobacco and needed to have the ends twisted before
you smoked them. Manera lit his lighter and passed it around. The lighter was shaped like a Fiat radiator. I told them
what I had heard.
What does the excerpt reveal about the narrator?
He prefers the company of the officers to that of the drivers.
He only spends time with the officers so he can get cigarettes for the drivers.
He looks down on everyone involved in the war, both officers and enlisted men.
He interacts easily with both his superiors and the drivers.

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.
