3. Read this passage from FDR's First Inaugural Address. What context clue lets you know that this
passage comes from the introduction of the speech?
This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we
shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has
endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing
we have to fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed
efforts to convert retreat into advance.
First of all
Frankly and boldly
Conditions in our country
Retreat into advance
