Answer from: jeanieb

The error is in "to take the shortcut".

Explanation:

In the sentence "To get to the store, Moria had to cross the street, walk to the corner, and to take the shortcut across the park" we have the preposition "to" after the verb "had". The preposition already refers to each and every element that is mentioned after it, so there is no need to repeat it. It refers to "cross the street", "walk to the corner", and "take the shortcut across the park" as well.

In order to make the sentence grammatically correct, all we have to do is eliminate the preposition "to" that was repeated right before "take the shortcut across the park."

Thus, the correct form is:

To get to the store, Moria had to cross the street, walk to the corner, and take the shortcut across the park.

Death in the morning

Answer from: Quest

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
