At their meeting of january 1942 what argument persuaded roosevelt and prime minister churchill to pursue europe first strategy

Churchill believed that it would be better to first take Sicily then Italy saying the communication lines are not good and it would not be easily to pull them out in an event of an invasion of Northern Europe.  He added that at that point Germany would be weakened since it also fighting in the east against the Russians.  Roosevelt agreed to this strategy but emphasized more commitment to the Pacific where Churchill agreed to send troops to Asia.

the correct answer is “opportunity cost”. opportunity cost is what a company misses out because it decided in one option over another one. in this case, the company decided to invest in building a factory so it gave up another possible benefit or profit in order to achieve success with the factory.  

trade-off is not the correct answer since it is a situation in which you accept losing something in return for benefits in other areas.

and finally, consequence is a general term used to accept what it comes when you make a decision. it can be a positive or negative consequence depending if the decision you took was the correct one.
