Read the sentences from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza. I was left alone in the room for M-E-N. I examined it with great care—the smooth enamel bowl with water in the bottom, the wooden lid with a large hole that looked like a horse collar, the small brown box up near the ceiling, the chain hanging from it. Pressed for time, I finally decided it was safe enough to try. How does Ernesto feel? worried that he is in the wrong room unsure about the new experience confused about the use of the chain troubled by the size of the hole

The way Ernesto feels is expressed by letter B. unsure about the new experience.

Explanation:

In this part of his autobiography, Ernesto Galarza tells readers about a specific episode that shows how he adapted to the new things his journey into a different country and lifestyle brought. Where Ernesto came from, there didn't used to have indoor toilets. Now, he is alone in one. A clerk has already explained things to him. Ernesto knows what to do; he knows what the chain does and so on. Still, he is a bit unsure about the experience. After all, it is his first time using an indoor toilet. Everything goes smoothly, and he ends up so excited about how easy it is to simply go and use the bathroom that he does it way too much:

That night I got up several times to go to the toilet, until I was ordered to go to sleep.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.

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.
