Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below: President George W. Bush’s speech to

the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike. The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory. Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you. Which line from the text suggests it is important to let service men and women know their sacrifices are valued? Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide.

Read this excerpt from Ani's evaluation of Dan DeLuca's argument in his article "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics
Afina-wow [57]

Ani says that Dan Deluca wrote an article that contradicts his stance of the Nobel being well deserved at times, the two sentences of said article that show this kind of contradiction are:

Many of Dylan’s most fervently loved songs—some of which actually are love songs—date from the 1960s, and his being honored at age 75 can be seen as an ultimate affirmation for the baby boomer generation.

and

And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing.

this is because they say that the Nobel might be a product of simple nostalgia and they undermine Dylan as an artist, plus these seem to not be quotes from detractors but something Dan DeLuca is saying himself

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

I think that this quote is trying to describe that the traditions that have been passed down and used time and time again by the 'primitive' will forever be more tangible. Because when he says "the fantasy of modern times" it's almost like he is claiming that they are just ideas and wishes and wants for this more modern society and way of living, whereas, with the "lore of the primitive" these normal methods of survival have been used and proven effective over again. A good comparison to that phrase could be, "if it ain't broke don't fix it", which is essentially what I think that Anton Chekhov was trying to say.
