"Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation" was a speech delivered by Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 8, 1941, after the Empire of Japan attacked the island of Hawaii, without any warning, even while they were still negotiating peace with the United States. This attack on Pearl Harbor, which destroyed most of the Pacific fleet of the U.S and provoked the final entrance of the country into the Second World War, when this nation had initially decided to stay on the sidelines. The attack was the final push Congress needed to allow the President to declare war and unite behind Roosevelt. In this excerpt from the whole speech, which explains the terrible actions by Japan, Roosevelt emphazises on the lack of respect on the part of the Asian nation to the peace negotiations, and the reason why the United States needs to fight against Japanese power spreading further in the Pacific. This is why the correct answer here is: B: It uses parallelism to emphasize that Japan is a dangerous agressor actively attacking throughout the Pacific. This parallelism can be seen through the repetition of the several attacks that took place almost at the same time as the attack on Pearl Harbor, throughout the Pacific.
