Question

what are you going to do about it? 5200 yank prisoners killed by jap torture in philippines: cruel march of death described stay on the job until every murdering jap is wiped out! this poster was displayed at factories that produced war materials. why are the japanese portrayed in this way? ○ to convince people to quit their jobs ○ to convince people to work harder ○ to show support for japanese americans facing discrimination ○ to show support for those taken as prisoners of war by germany

Explanation:

The poster is from a time of war (likely WWII) and displayed at war - material - producing factories. It portrays Japanese as "murdering Japs" and has the message "STAY ON THE JOB UNTIL EVERY MURDERING JAP IS WIPED OUT". Option 1 is wrong as it wants people to quit, but the poster says "stay on the job". Option 3 is wrong as it portrays Japanese negatively, not supporting Japanese Americans. Option 4 is wrong as it's about Japanese, not German POWs. Option 2 makes sense: by portraying Japanese negatively, it aims to get factory workers (producing war materials) to work harder to defeat Japan.

Answer:

B. to convince people to work harder
