According to the article, World War I was a devastating war like no other before it.

Which paragraph BEST supports the idea outlined above?
(A) Lewandoske and her "boys" were among the millions of Americans who served in World War I. There
were soldiers, sailors and nurses. They were white, black and Latino.
(B)
Tens of thousands from their generation would perish on the battlefield, 25,000 in one six-week period
alone. Many thousands more would die of disease.
World War I started in Europe in the summer of 1914, and ended on November 11, 1918. The United
States entered the conflict after France, Russia and Britain had battled Germany and its allies for almost
three years.
And American might was brought to bear against Germany only in the closing months of the conflict, but
just in time to help reverse the enemy's huge, last-gasp offensive and end the war.​

Answer:(B)

Tens of thousands from their generation would perish on the battlefield, 25,000 in one six-week period

alone. Many thousands more would die of disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

This paragraph (B) best supports the idea at the beggining because it reffers to the amount of people who lost their lives on the war and not only the americans who participated.

About 18 million people died during the conflict and over 70 million military personnel took part in one of the deadliest wars in history
