Option A

Explanation:

Phillis Wheatley was supposed to meet Boston in 1772 because they not only wanted to question the veracity of her claim to have written poetry, but also find an answer to the same too.

However they couldn’t be convinced by the claims from her stating that even she can write poetry but they rather wanted to verify it by themselves if she can do the same. However she was brought to Boston as a slave in 1761 who later went on to become a personal help for John Wheatley’s wife.

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.
