"it’s only fair,” maritza told her friend avery as they sat in their empty classroom after school. "the first person to do a famous thing should get the most credit for it. i mean, how much do you hear about the second person to fly an airplane over the atlantic ocean? or the second guy who landed on the moon? ” to draw a conclusion about maritza’s character based on this excerpt, what is the best question for the reader to ask? who is she? what does she do? where is she? what does she say?

To draw a conclusion about Maritza's character based on the excerp, the best question for the reader to ask is: What does she say? (option 4).

The excerpt contains things that Maritza has said about being the first or the second person to accomplish something. She states that being the first person to do something gives you credit. She then makes emphasis on the fact that the second person to accomplish something important like flying over the Atlantic Ocean or landing on the moon is not famous or relevant because someone has already done it.

By asking yourself "What does she say?", you can draw conclusions on her characterization as a person who values being the first to do something.

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.
