Juanita used her affinity for numbers to her design a computer program that relied on college-level math formulas, even though she was only in middle school.

based on the context clues in the sentence, what is the best meaning of “affinity”?

a. a talent for
b. an enjoyment of
c. a fondness for
d. an understanding of

a talent for

While many of the options could also be substituted for affinity, "a talent for" is the best option. The first reason why is because Juanita is doing college-level math even though she is only a middle schooler. The second reason is because the other options aren't correct. I have an enjoyment, fondness for, and understanding of running, but I am not able to run at a higher more competitive level. Just because you like something doesn't mean that you're very good at it. Juanita is very good at math and computer programming.

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.
