need help?
remove

Explanation:

To complete the counterargument, we analyze the US's WWII entry context. If choosing "should not have", reasons like domestic isolationist sentiment, unprepared military, and focus on recovery from the Great Depression support that early entry wasn't feasible. The blank can be filled with a statement justifying the original (later) entry, e.g., "the nation was not yet militarily or economically prepared to engage in a global conflict, and domestic isolationist attitudes were strong, making a premature entry both impractical and unlikely to gain public support".

Answer:

While some might argue that the US [should have/should not have] entered World War II earlier, it is clear from the evidence that the nation was not yet militarily or economically prepared to engage in a global conflict, and domestic isolationist attitudes were strong, making a premature entry both impractical and unlikely to gain public support. (Note: If choosing "should have", the reasoning would focus on stopping Axis aggression earlier, but the above uses "should not have" as a common counterargument angle based on US pre - Pearl Harbor context.)
