Question

The quote below was written in the 1940s:

"There was almost no talk I can remember on our trip back to the base. It was just too much to express in words, I guess. We were all in a kind of state of shock. I think the foremost thing in all our minds was that this thing was going to bring an end to the war and we tried to look at it that way."
—Sergeant Joseph Stiborik, Radar Operator on the Enola Gay
What conclusion can you draw from this statement

Answer 1

C. The crew of the Enola Gay believed that the atomic bomb was the best way to force Japan’s surrender.

The excerpt is describing how the people on the plane felt after they dropped the bomb on japan during ww2. They were shocked, but they said, "this thing was going to bring an end to the war and we tried to look at it that way."

Answer 2

This statement would probably be about the bombing of Hiroshima. Sergeant Joseph Stiborik worked as one of the Bombardment Squardron and Composite group that have navigated planes and fought enemy aircrafts during the World War. The nuclear bomb that had dropped during 1945 would probably be the subject of this statement he made.
