Which passage from a historic speech best represents a common assertion?

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people . . . will win through to . . . victory.

Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya.

Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island.

There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.

Answer: No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people . . . will win through to . . . victory.

Statements B to D can only be expressed in precise situations (during an attack against Malaya, an attack on Wake Island and a grave danger to the country). However, statement A is a common assertion because it is ofetn repeated in a variety of different contexts. When America enters a war, American leaders often repeat that they will fight and achieve victory, regardless of the particular circumstances of the war.
