Question

question 10 (1 point)
image: a poster with text your sugar ration is 2 lbs. per month and we must confine our consumption of sugar to not more than 2 lbs. per person per month in order to provide a restricted ration to england, france and italy.
dok 2: which of the following best explains why the united states had to ration important goods, like in the image above?

a the pearl harbor attacks destroyed important sugar farms in hawaii
b the united states needed to provide supplies to their military and other allied countries
c americans were hoarding goods in case of future attacks.

Explanation:

• Option a: Pearl Harbor attacks were on military targets, not sugar farms in Hawaii, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: During wartime (likely WWI or WWII), the US needed to supply its military and Allied nations (like England, France, Italy as in the poster), so rationing goods like sugar was to ensure enough supplies for them. This matches the context.
• Option c: The poster emphasizes supplying Allies, not hoarding due to future attacks, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

b. The United States needed to provide supplies to their military and other Allied countries
