In "The Piece of String," people do not believe the old man when he denies taking the wallet. Which statement best explains how this event develops the plot? It is part of the rising action of the story, which builds the reader's suspense about how Master Hauchecorne will prove his innocence. It serves as the falling action of the story, which resolves the tension about whether Master Hauchecorne will use the string. It is the climax of the story, as this is the point in the story where Master Hauchecorne undergoes a dramatic change in his personality. It resolves the main conflict of the story by demonstrating that Master Hauchecorne is an untrustworthy character who has concealed the theft.

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.
