Question

Which three lines in the speech "Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat" demonstrate Winston Churchill’s prediction of how war will impact Great Britain’s future?

I hope that any of my friends and colleagues, or former colleagues, who are affected by the political reconstruction, will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined the government: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."
We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal.
But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.

Answer 1

Churchill's speech 'Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat' predicts the war's heavy toll on Great Britain through the evident hardship and the necessity of victory for survival.

Step-by-step explanation:

Winston Churchill’s speech “Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat” served not only as a rallying cry but also as a sober prediction of the impact of war on Great Britain’s future. The lines that demonstrate his foresight are:

• “We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.”
• “We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering.”
• “Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.”

These snippets illustrate Churchill's anticipation of a prolonged conflict and the sacrifices required to secure victory, underscoring the seriousness with which he approached the imminent challenges.
