Read the excerpt from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech, in

which he describes the events of World War II before the United States
entered the war.
Armed defense of democratic existence is now being
gallantly waged in four continents. If that defense fails, all
the population and all the resources of Europe, Asia, Africa
and Australasia will be dominated by the conquerors. Let
us remember that the total of those populations and their
resources in those four continents greatly exceeds the
sum total of the population and the resources of the whole
of the Western Hemisphere – many times over.
What evidence does Roosevelt use to support his argument that the United
States should help its allies in the fight against Nazi Germany?
A. Facts that show Nazi Germany could gain access to the means to
threaten the United States
B. Details about Nazi Germany's plans to conquer both North
America and South America
C. Statistics about the size and capability of Nazi Germany's military
in the Eastern Hemisphere
D. Proof that the free peoples of other continents are capable of
standing against Nazi Germany
