Stepping from the embrace, she smoothly extracts the broom from my grip. “No more of this. Take it easy until closing. I’ll set the bots to roam.” She slips through the beaded curtain to the kitchen, presumable to hang up her apron and apply a sweep of cherry gloss across her lips. A few minutes later, I’m met with the steady drone of the dust bots as they awaken and shift listlessly through the curtain. They’re old models, mid-twenty-second century, that TingTing bought at a junk auction last fall and restored by watching instructional videos on the Net. One bumps into my toe before careening off into a cake stand. We usually don’t take them out. TingTing’s parents, Ms. Chen and Auntie, are traditionalists and prefer lowTech amenities. Still, it’s a constant war these days against the dust that sweeps across the city limits, piling worst in dead ends and cul-de-sacs, like the one that shelters The Alchemy of Dreams.

 A and D

Explanation:  T o make it work

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.
