Question

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
d. to support government intervention in private business

Explanation:

Roosevelt's speech emphasizes that all U.S. civilians (men, women, children) have a "battle at home" through daily tasks: supplying troops and stabilizing the nation's economy during and after war. This centers on urging civilians to contribute (sacrifice their usual routines for national war efforts). Option A is incorrect as the speech is not about creating propaganda itself. Option B is wrong because it focuses on civilian, not military enlistment. Option D is unrelated, as the speech does not mention government intervention in private business.

Answer:

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