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 publications would have a different point of view of Eleanor Roosevelt compared to the author’s point of view?

A. A personal memoir from an injured naval officer who fought in the pacific theater

B. A brochure about women’s contributions to the U.S war effort

C. A newspaper clipping from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin in 1994

D. A historical Japanese military document outlining how to damage enemy morale

Answer Explanation:

This is because this publication would be about damaging enemy morale while Roosevelt was all about rallying the troops’ spirits.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.
