What mistake did general douglas macarthur make in december 1941?

The correct answer is D) He miscalculated the strength of the Japanese and was forced to retreat.  

The mistake that Douglas McArthur made in December 1941 was that he miscalculated the strength of the Japanese and was forced to retreat.  

On December 8, 1941, General McArthur received the news about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He was the U.S. General in the Head Quarters of the United States Asiatic Fleet in the Philippines. MacArthur did not prepare his troops to prevent the attack of Japan and left his combat airplanes on land. When the Japanese Airforce got to the site, most of U.S. fleet was on land and practically was destroyed. The inaction of McArthur to follow war orders was the reason for the U.S. loss in the Philippines base.

The other options of the question were, a) He failed to secure important rubber and oil supplies in Asia, b) He led a raid in Tokyo that proved to have a minimal military gain, c) He evacuated his soldiers to Australia without repelling the Japanese invasion of Guam.

s the president shall be commander in chief of the army and navy of the united states, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the united states; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments. sooo yeahhh

explanation:

the topic i chose to write about was " why scuba diving is so popular". the topic is suitable for the audience because it is the easiest to develop and explain, it can be explained in a simpler more conversational manner, it does not require the use of too many technical words, and the final reason for selecting this topic is that it is the one most people can relate to, you might not know too much about scuba diving, but you could probably agree that it is very popular. the purpose of the writing about this topic is to convince more people about the benefits both for the body and the mind that   scuba diving can have on a person. it can you keep fit since it requires a lot of energy when swimming underwater; it also you relax because you forget about the world when you are underwater being mesmerized by the underwater world. i would write this paper in the summer, a perfect time to give scuba diving a try if a person has not done it yet.
