explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.

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.

Read the passage from the opinion of the court in brown v. board of education, written by justice warren. minors of the negro race, through their legal representatives, seek the aid of the courts in obtaining admission to the public schools of their community on a nonsegregated basis. in each instance, they had been denied admission to schools attended by white children under laws requiring or permitting segregation according to race. this segregation was alleged to deprive the plaintiffs of the equal protection of the laws under the fourteenth amendment. in each of the cases other than the delaware case, a three-judge federal district court denied relief to the plaintiffs on the so-called "separate but equal" doctrine announced by this court in plessy v. ferguson, 163 u.s. 537. under that doctrine, equality of treatment is accorded when the races are provided substantially equal facilities, even though these facilities be separate. in the delaware case, the supreme court of delaware adhered to that doctrine, but ordered that the plaintiffs be admitted to the white schools because of their superiority to the negro schools. which statement best describes the passage? a. warren explains the students’ position, then describes how it has been previously handled by the courts. b. warren provides reasons why segregation is permissible, then offers evidence to support the reasons. c. warren claims that the students don’t have grounds to sue, then gives reasons why not. d. warren gives a history of segregation in america, then explains how the students fit into that history.
