Question

I need this ASAP... Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:

President George W. Bush's speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.

Which topic best relates to the central idea in this part of the speech?

Backing out of the fight
Avoiding future conflicts
Fighting a lost cause
Winning the war on terror

Answer 1

Winning the war on terror

Step-by-step explanation:

President George W. Bush says

"The war isn't over" but "their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory."

This means the war isn't over, but we can see that their side has already lost. The United States will win and have victory.

This means the answer is "Winning the war on terror".

By looking at the choices we can also see that the only correct one would be "Winning the war on terror".

Let's examine the other choices just in case.

A. Backing out of the fight. Why would the Americans back out of the fight when we are winning? President Bush stated "We have seen the turning of the tide." Meaning they are winning.

B. Avoiding future conflicts. That would be nice, but it mentions nothing about avoiding conflicts. It only mentions the success we have had in battle.

C. Fighting a lost cause. This option doesn't even make sense because George Bush implies multiple times that we are winning and will win the war.

Therefore the only option that makes sense is "Winning the war on terror"

I hope this helped!!

Have a great day!!
