Question

Based on the quote, which conclusion can be made about the United States during World War II?

c.The government feared that certain groups might work to sabotage and not help U.S. efforts in the war.
d.The government had more than enough able bodies to win the war that they turned volunteers away.

It's not B

Answer 1

C.
They actually thought they would sabotage.

Had they not treated them like dirt/second class citizens, they would not have had that fear.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) the government feared that certain groups might work to sabotage and not helped the United States efforts in the war.  

Based on the quote, the conclusion that can be made about the United States during World War II is that the government feared that certain groups might work to sabotage and not helped the United States efforts in the war.  

Part of the quote says “Men who are able and willing to do all they can to lick the Axis…Why won’t America let us?” People wanted to help in the war effort but the United States government feared that certain groups might work to sabotage and not helped the U.S. They feared espionage and that some people with familial ties to Japan, Italy or Germany, could sabotage or share key information to the enemies.
