Answer 2

The correcte answer is: "to emphasize the threat posed by Japan"

Rossevelt asked that it be a short speech that did not exceed five hundred words and focused on the essential message to reach as many Americans as possible: that the United States had been attacked by Japan by surprise and without a previous declaration of war and that the United States was willing to defeat him no matter what it cost.
