Excerpt from Preventing Backovers in America's Driveways National Highway Transportation Safety Administration
5
In the case of a backover incident, the blind spot is the place behind your vehicle that you cannot see in the rear or side view
mirrors - or even by craning your neck out the driver's side window. Generally speaking, the larger the vehicle, the larger the
blind spot.
6 Blind spots for shorter drivers tend to be significantly larger as well. In addition, the elevation of the driver's seat, the shape of
a vehicle's windows and mirrors, and the slope of a driveway can affect the size of the blind spot behind a vehicle. In addition,
the smaller stature of children can make them particularly difficult for a driver to see when backing up.
Based on the information from the passage, which of these combinations would be most likely to result in a driveway backover?
A)
midsize sedan and an elderly woman
B)
compact car and two-year old toddler
full size truck and a thirty-year-old man
D)
sport-utility vehicle and two-year-old toddler

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.

explanation:

margot’s silence imply? what will be her relationship with the other children from this point forward? remember, we read about how the most effective authors tap into the power of imagination. we have to use that imagination, and what we have learned about margot, her classmates, and their experiences
