Question

He Soviet Union, because of this rejection on the part of the military, has notified your Ambassador Sato that it has declared war on your nation. Thus, all powerful countries of the world are now at war with you.

Also, because of your leaders' refusal to accept the surrender declaration that would enable Japan to honorably end this useless war, we have employed our atomic bomb.

A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2000 of our giant B-29s could have carried on a single mission. Radio Tokyo has told you that with the first use of this weapon of total destruction, Hiroshima was virtually destroyed.

Before we use this bomb again and again to destroy every resource of the military by which they are prolonging this useless war, petition the emperor now to end the war. Our president has outlined for you the thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender. We urge that you accept these consequences and begin the work of building a new, better, and peace-loving Japan.

Based on the excerpt, which sentence best summarizes the Allies reason for using the atomic bomb on Japan?

A.
The United States wanted to make Japan surrender before the Soviets arrived.
B.
Japan was prolonging a terrible and bloody war that had an inevitable outcome.
C.
An atomic bomb caused damage more efficiently than B-29 bombers.
D.
Nations that failed to surrender to the Allies were asking for a nuclear attack.

Answer 1

B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that best summarizes the Allies' reason for using the atomic bomb on Japan is B. "Japan was prolonging a terrible and bloody war that had an inevitable outcome." This is supported by the following sentence from the excerpt: "Also, because of your leaders' refusal to accept the surrender declaration that would enable Japan to honorably end this useless war, we have employed our atomic bomb." The Allies believed that Japan was prolonging the war unnecessarily and that the atomic bomb was necessary to bring about an end to the conflict. The excerpt also notes that the Allies had outlined "thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender" and were urging Japan to accept these consequences and begin the work of building a new and peaceful nation.

why is it not D?

While the excerpt does mention that the Soviet Union has declared war on Japan and that the United States has employed an atomic bomb, it does not specifically state that nations that failed to surrender to the Allies were asking for a nuclear attack. The use of the atomic bomb on Japan was a specific decision made by the United States in response to Japan's refusal to accept the Allies' surrender terms and was not a general policy of attacking nations that did not surrender. Therefore, option B is a more accurate and specific summary of the Allies' reason for using the atomic bomb on Japan.
