PLEASE HELP!! IMPORTANT TEST! Read the following excerpt from President Roosevelt's speech to Congress
after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 - a date which will live in
infamy - the United States of America was suddenly
and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the
Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at
the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with
its government and its emperor looking toward the
maintenance of peace in the Pacific.
What was Roosevelt's likely motive for using the phrase "suddenly and
deliberately"?
O A. It conveys how impressive the secrecy of the attack was.
O B. It suggests that the United States misunderstood Japan's military
capabilities.
O c. It underscores that Japan was being deceptive when it pretended
to want peace.
O D. It implies that the United States failed to detect the obvious
planning of the attack.
