B. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to the question below.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the Us, was from a wealthy, well- known family. As a child, he attended private schools, had private tutors, and travelled with his parents to Europe. He attended Harvard University, and afterward studied law. At the age of 39 Roosevelt suddenly developed polio, a disease that left him without the full use of his legs for the rest of his life. Despite the worst of his illness, he continued his life in politics. In 1924 he appeared at the Democratic National Convention to nominate A1 Smith for President, and eight years after that he himself was nominated for the same office. Roosevelt was elected presidency during the Great Depression of the 1930s, at a time when more than 5,000 banks had failed and thousands of people were out of work. Roosevelt took action. First he declared a bank holiday that closed all the banks so no more could fail; then he opened the banks little by little with government support. Roosevelt believed in using the full power of government to help what he called the “forgotten people”, and it was these workers, the wage earners, who felt the strongest attention toward Roosevelt. There were others, however, who felt that Roosevelt’s policies were destroying the American system of government, and they opposed him in the same intense way that others admired him.
In 1940 the Democrats nominated Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term. No president in American history had served three terms, but Roosevelt felt an obligation not to quit while the United States’ entry into World War II was looming in the future. He accepted the nomination and went on to an easy victory.
