今日は、リーディングです。歴史記述の一部を読んで、内容把握をします。ご健闘を祈ります。

以下の歴史的記述の一部を読み、続く問の答えとして、正しいを選択肢を選んでください。

Civilization against [Y1], freedom against [Y2], education against [Y3], progress against [Y4], the West against [Y5], the United States against Spain. In this cause, the flag of freedom was again unfurled in the face of a foreign foe, and our nation entered the war against the people of another land, carrying the star-spangled banner through successive victories in the name of liberty and humanity.

It is a proud banner, which stands the whole world over for freedom and right, with few stains of defeat or injustice upon its folds. The great heart of the nation swelled with pride at the righteousness of the cause, with an assurance that eternal history would praise America for its unselfish work. On land and sea, the boys in blue gave new fame to the flag, and their proud record in the past was more than justified by the honors that they won.
