In 1943, the war in the Pacific raged on. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt went to rally the troops' spirits, despite the disapproval of military command. Roosevelt planned a grueling itinerary. She visited several islands and hundreds of wounded in her first 6 days. The indefatigable First Lady inspected Navy hospitals, delivered a speech, attended receptions, and visited convalescing officers, all within 12 hours of her arrival. She lifted spirits among the wounded and morale among the troops. She continued her exhausting tour for a month, speaking to every patient in troop hospitals and taking down addresses to contact family members. Roosevelt traveled non-stop, risked her life, and greeted the last patient she saw with the same heartfelt sincerity as the first. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the passage?
A. Eleanor Roosevelt did not enjoy giving oral speeches to troops.
B. Eleanor Roosevelt hand-wrote notes to every troop's family.
C. Eleanor Roosevelt became First Lady before the war in the Pacific ended.
D. Eleanor Roosevelt was present during most battles in Asia during WWII.
The passage suggests that Eleanor Roosevelt became First Lady before the war in the Pacific ended, as it mentions her visiting the troops and wounded during the ongoing war in the Pacific in 1943. This implies that she was First Lady during the war's continuation.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.
