Read the passage from Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech. Where four decades ago there was rubble, today in West Berli

n there is the greatest industrial output of any city in Germany—busy office blocks, fine homes and apartments, proud avenues, and the spreading lawns of park land. Where a city's culture seemed to have been destroyed, today there are two great universities, orchestras and an opera, countless theaters, and museums. Where there was want, today there's abundance. . . . From devastation, from utter ruin, you Berliners have, in freedom, rebuilt a city that once again ranks as one of the greatest on earth. . . . In the 1950s, Khrushchev predicted: "We will bury you." But in the West today, we see a free world that has achieved a level of prosperity and well-being unprecedented in all human history. In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, even want of the most basic kind—too little food. Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself. After these four decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity. Freedom replaces the ancient hatreds among the nations with comity and peace. Freedom is the victor. Which statement best describes Reagan’s main message for his audience in this excerpt? The Berlin Wall is a reminder of the past and of the war. The United States is more powerful than the Soviet Union. Democracy leads to greater prosperity than communism does. Berlin is a thriving city that can boast of many accomplishments

The Berlin Wall was a concrete and stone enormous barrier that not only divided Berlin, and post-war Germany, into two, East and West, physically, but it also became the representation of the great division that was taking place between the Western World, led by the U.S and the Soviet world, led by the Soviet Union and Communism. It also became the symbol of a conflict that had initiated in the Second World War and that was fast escalating between the two super power of the time, the United States and the USSR. It also became the symbol of the struggle between two ideologies, democracy and communism. While the Wall was up, the difference between the development of the Eastern and Western sides of Berlin was enourmous. In the East, people were struggling with restriction and the ruthlessness of the USSR, while in the West, the city and its people began to see development and economical, political and social advancement and liberty. Because of this, the correct answer is Democracy leads to greater prosperity than communism does.

Which elements keep you most interested in a fictional book? Check any that apply.
Kazeer [188]
Well, it depends on the genre of that non-fictional book. For instance, a mystery book would make the audience interested if there was an unsolved mystery included, but an adventure book, for instance, might hook the reader if it was actually based on historical events and something like the book described had actually happened. Therefore, for a fictional book, I would say all of these interest me depending on the type of book.
