Question 9 • SC-English 3 Honors

Read the paragraph from "Wilson's War Message to Congress."We have no quarrel with the German people. We have no feeling towards them but one of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon their impulse that their Government acted in entering this war. It was not with their previous knowledge or approval. It was a war determined upon as wars used to be determined upon in the old, unhappy days when peoples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the interest of dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men who were accustomed to use their fellow men as pawns and tools.The text structure used to support the viewpoint in the paragraph is

Answer
A
problem and solution
B
chronological order
C
compare and contrast
D
main idea and details

Explanation

The main idea is that Wilson distinguishes the German people from the leaders who decided to enter the war. The paragraph supports this idea with details: the people did not act on the government’s impulse, did not know of or approve the decision, and were treated as pawns by ambitious rulers. This is a main idea supported by details, not a sequence of events or a problem-and-solution structure.
