Based on the excerpt, which sentence best summarizes the Allies reason for using the atomic bomb on Japan?

Answer 1

Less Casualties.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it doesn't sound like that would be the answer, the only other option to take out Japan was to invade Japan itself. That would led to millions dying, billions and billions in damage, and worse. The Atomic Bombs that were dropped were dropped for a reason. And that was to stop udder annihilation to Japan.

The other options of the question were A) The US wanted to make Japan surrender before the Soviets arrived. C) An atomic bomb caused more damage more efficiently than B-29 bombers. D) Nations that failed to surrender to the Allies were asking for a nuclear attack.
