Read and answer the given questions " Seeing Through" Jeffrey brushed quickly past an elderly woman waiting on the platform ahead of him to get onto the subway. He wanted to be sure to get a seat to read his New Economics Journal. As the train screeched out of the station, he lifted his head from the business news and stared at the man directly across from him. A fierce wave – a tsunami – of antipathy came over him. Jeffrey knew this man, knew him all too well. They had become bitter enemies. Their eyes locked. As the train reached full speed, the cacophony of speeding wheels against the winding rails and of the wildly vibrating subway car filled Jeffrey’s ears. To this frenetic beat, Jeffrey listed in his head all the reasons that this man, whose eyes he gravely stared into, whose image seemed to appear nearly everywhere he went, had become anathema to him. He had climbed the upper echelons of the Wall Street firm using an imperious manner with his subordinates: issuing directives; ordaining idiosyncratic decrees; generally making certain everyone knew he was the boss. Despite his impoverished upbringing, he had become ostentatious. Flush with cash from the lucrative deals he made on Wall Street, he had purchased a yacht and a home in Versailles. He used neither. But, oh, how he liked to say he had them. Meanwhile—Jeffrey knew—this man’s father was on the verge of being evicted from his decrepit tenement apartment in the South Bronx. What bothered Jeffrey most about this man was that he never even attempted to make amends for his evil ways. Could this man change? Jeffrey did not know. But maybe, just maybe, he could try. The train screeched to Jeffrey’s stop at Battery Park. He gave the man one last hard look. “See you around,” he mumbled to himself. And he knew he would— the wrinkled brow, that part of graying hair, those cold metallic eyes in a subway window reflection—were his own. It would take years of hard work and self-contemplation, but Jeffrey would once again encounter this man on the train, and marvel at what a kinder person he had become. *

Inaugural Address
by John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961 (excerpt)
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans-born
in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage-and unwilling to witness or permit the
slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and
around the world.
“A)Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend,
oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”
“B)This much we pledge-and more.”
“C)To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends.” United there is little we cannot do in a
host of cooperative ventures. “D)Divided there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.”
