Which would be the best summary of this paragraph? 7- "this was the king's semi-barbaric method of administering justice. its perfect fairness is obvious. the criminal could not know out of which door would come the lady; he opened either he , without having the slightest idea whether, in the next instant, he was to be devoured or married. on some occasions the tiger came out of one door, and on some out of the other. the decisions of this tribunal were not only fair, they were positively determinate: the accused person was instantly punished if he found himself guilty, and, if innocent, he was rewarded on the spot, whether he liked it or not. there was no escape from the judgments of the king's arena." a. the accused always knows the door in front of the tiger. b. the king decides the person's guilt and opens the appropriate door. c. the guilt of a criminal is self-determined by the choice he makes when he opens the door.

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.
