Explanation:

1. The first blank refers to the system that recruited men into the military, so "draft" is correct.
2. The next blank describes a group that took war jobs outside the home; women filled this role in WWII, so "women" fits.
3. The third blank names a group that gained new opportunities via Executive Order 8802, which targeted barriers for African Americans, so "African Americans" is right.
4. Executive Order 8802 banned defense contractors from unfair treatment of minorities, so "discriminating" is the correct term.
5. The blank refers to limiting goods for military use, which is "rationing".
6. The blank describes home-grown food plots for the war effort, which are "victory gardens".
7. The final blank refers to financial instruments to fund the war, so "war bonds" is correct.

Answer:

1. draft
2. women
3. African Americans
4. discriminating
5. rationing
6. victory gardens
7. war bonds

Completed paragraph:
Americans contributed greatly to the Allies' effort in World War II. Millions of men entered the military through the draft. Many more women took jobs outside the home to help the war effort. African Americans also found new opportunities, partly because President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802. That order barred defense contractors from discriminating against ethnic and racial minorities. Americans accepted the rationing of goods so that vital supplies could be used for members of the armed forces and U.S. allies. Many Americans grew fruit and vegetables in victory gardens, leaving farmers' crops to meet military needs. They also bought war bonds to help pay for the war effort.
