Question

which phrase best describes the purpose of this speech by president roosevelt?
but there is one front and one battle where everyone in the united states—every man, woman, and child—is in action, and will be privileged to remain in action throughout this war. that front is right here at home, in our daily lives, in our daily tasks... not only to supply our fighting men, but to keep the economic structure of our country fortified and secure during the war and after the war.
—franklin d. roosevelt, april 28, 1942
a. to increase propaganda encouraging wartime involvement
b. to increase military enlistment to meet national defense needs
c. to encourage civilian sacrifices for the sake of the nation

Explanation:

The speech focuses on the "home front," stating all Americans (men, women, children) must act in daily life to support troops and stabilize the economy during and after war. Option A is too broad; the speech is direct encouragement, not just propaganda. Option B is incorrect as it does not mention military enlistment. Option C matches: it calls on civilians to contribute (sacrifice/act) for the nation's wartime and post-war strength.

Answer:

C. to encourage civilian sacrifices for the sake of the nation
