Without a declaration of war and without warning or justification of any kind, civilians, including vast numbers of women and children, are being ruthlessly murdered with bombs from the air. In times of so-called peace, ships are being attacked and sunk by submarines without cause or notice. Which does Roosevelt's imagery convey? Question options: A. His approval of the countries committing these acts of violence B. His belief that America must respond to these acts C. His assertion that America should respond with the same violence and aggression D. His support for an international treaty to establish peace.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is B. He believed that the right thing to do was step in and do the best he could to stop these acts. 

In this excerpt from Roosevelt, the imagery conveys B) His belief that America must respond to these acts. In "Quarantine the Aggressor", Roosevelt referred to how all nations that want to leave in peace are threatened, and peace treaties are not respected. This has been done without a declaration of war. Roosevelt wants to convey his belief that America cannot remain neutral.
