Explanation:

The text starts with the Pearl Harbor attack and then describes how Japanese Americans (like Mary Tsukamoto and Tom Kawaguchi) came under suspicion. The option about the history of injustices against Japanese Americans, including internment at Manzanar, aligns with the theme of suspicion and potential unjust treatment (which led to internment) of Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor. Other options either focus too narrowly (like just internment at Manzanar or adjusting to life there) or on the war declaration (while the text focuses on the impact on Japanese Americans, not the war itself).

Answer:

The history of injustices against Japanese Americans, including internment at Manzanar (assuming this is the correct option from the given choices; the exact option label would depend on the original numbering, but the content - based correct option is the one about the history of injustices against Japanese Americans, including internment at Manzanar).
